GasBuddy is wildly inacurate and suspicious at best Regular unleaded at my neighborhood Alon was reported by GasBuddy to be $3.09/gallon based on a user submission 17 hours ago. In reality it's $3.499 and the staff say it's been that price all week. GasBuddy claims to be "crowdsourced" but based on all the complaints about wildly inaccurate prices that can't be true. The "login" system seems to be no more than your username and a system generated nickname that it gives you the option to change it but the new nickname instantly reverts to the system generated one. Overall GasBuddy feels more like "clickbait" for advertising revenue than an actual gas price finder. AVOID and DO NOT TRUST.

Do not ever count on prices posted being the corrwct pricend drives me around town to get… My friend drives me around town to get correct gas prices. Today I posted several gas stations but when we got to the next station, the station I had posted before showed no prices at all. I was sitting at the pump when I posted.

Gas prices are posted without having to prove you are anywhere near the gas station. Gasbuddy keeps getting worse over time. They award points to people for posting prices. In order to earn points a lot of posters just post whatever price someone else posts. A lot of the time the prices are very far from the real price. Their disclaimer that they are crowdsourced which could be a valid excuse for all the wrong prices being reported; however, this could be avoided by only allowing the prices to be reported on the app. When a person earns points on the app they have to be within a half mile in order to earn points. When they post on the web I'm not sure how far away they are. If points are only awarded when posting on the app I think you would see a huge improvement in reports of gas prices.

No replies to bug reports I submitted a bug report 2 weeks ago and still NO REPLIES. The app does NOT allow me to enter gas price at our local gas stop (3.1 miles away). I tried a dozen times over several days (yes, I clicked CONFIRM each time). So, what is the purpose of GasBuddy?

Signed up a month ago. Still no card Put in for a GasBuddy card in June. It got shipped (supposedly). It is now almost a month and still no card. Customer Support still emails me reminders to activate and take advantage of the savings, but can’t seem to mail the card so it gets delivered. Good thing I went with the free membership. Customer Support bots tend to respond more often than an actual human. Honestly at this point I’m just going to consider deleting my account. Waste of my time waiting for a savings card and dealing with incompetent customer service.
