GasBuddy advertises incorrect prices and won't correct them! Prices listed on GasBuddy often used to be out of date and lower than what I found at the pump. Lately, I've noticed that when I try to submit the correct price, GasBuddy argues with me ("This price seems high") and does not update the incorrect prices -- I suspect that GasBuddy is colluding with stations to drive business to them with false price reports, but what I'm certain of is that I cannot rely on the prices GasBuddy reports regardless of how recently they are supposed to have been submitted. It's not worth deviating from my intended route to get a lower price -- every time I do so, I find the price at the pump is much higher than claimed.

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?

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.

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.

Not posting true prices This community-driven app is only as good as it's subscribers want it to be! Instead of posting the advertised sign price on the pump, they're posting a price that includes rewards they're getting with their gas credit card.
