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.

Great App This App allow you to find the best gas prices in an area. They have challenges to earn points to win free gas.

False advertising Yeah, every time I go to the site and then go to the gas station. There are 45 cents at least 45 cents higher than any of them. What you say they are, so you're false advertising for these companies. You ought to be taken off the website. Never put back on very dissatisfied, wouldn't trust you again if my life depended on it.

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.

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?
