4.17Vendors“Recommended by” now shows “NRF Homeowner(s)” by default, with a note that all recommendations are from North River Farms homeowners. California license numbers are listed below each vendor’s website, linked to the CSLB lookup. Added Pafford Homes’ website and license (#1137264). Home inspection listing notes that California doesn’t license home inspectors.
4.16Site, HomeGas Prices and Vendors added to the top menu on every page. Home’s date bar is now two lines: the date and current weather, then today’s and tomorrow’s sunrise and sunset with the weather source on the right.

4.12HomeGas prices now show a table of the 5 cheapest stations for regular, with columns for Address, Regular, Midgrade, Premium, and Diesel (credit price, cash price below), the lowest price per fuel highlighted, nearby averages, and the next expected update time. Switched to an Apify scraper that returns all grades in one run, cutting data costs to about $2 a month. Added an email link to request other areas.
4.11HomeGas prices update twice daily, at 5 a.m. and 2 p.m. Pacific. Regular now shows the 10 cheapest nearby in a row, low to high, with each cash price below (or “Cash not reported”).

4.9HomeGas prices connected to the live weekly feed. Diesel now accepts reports up to 7 days old (regular stays at 3 days), since diesel prices are reported less often near 92057.
4.8HomeGas prices switched to Plan C: every Tuesday at 9 a.m. Pacific, a Cloudflare Worker pulls GasBuddy prices for 92057 through Apify, drops on-base stations and stale reports, and saves the three cheapest regular and diesel plus an average. Last week’s prices stay up if a run fails.
4.7HomeGas prices now come live from Google Maps through a small Cloudflare Worker: the cheapest regular and diesel near 92057 (on-base stations excluded), each with when it was reported, plus a nearby average.

4.6HomeNew Gas prices section on Home: the cheapest regular and diesel near 92057 (excluding on-base stations) plus Oceanside, county, state, and U.S. averages, from the weekly Gas Price Watch. Publishes automatically every Tuesday at 9 a.m. Pacific.
