Reporting guidelines
Discount prices
When posting prices for stations that offer a discount, we ask users to post the price before any discount when possible.
This includes:
- Store Discount/Loyalty Cards
- Coupons
- Car Wash Discount
- Tax Exemption
Rounding prices
We ask that you do not round prices. A station price of 2.389 should be reported as 2.38.
Diesel
When reporting prices for Diesel: Bio-Diesel and Tax Exempt prices should not be reported.
Visitor prices
Prices reported by a visitor (someone not signed in to an account) are only displayed if there are no current prices.
Mid-west fuel pricing
In Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and Kentucky most gas stations sell both E0 (Unleaded) and E10 (Super Unleaded) gas. At these stations E0 should be reported as Regular and E10 should be reported in the Mid-Grade spot.

In the app, tap "Find Gas" to find prices in your area. To find prices in other areas, tap the magnifying glass in the top, right-hand corner of the page to search city names and zip codes.
You can also get to the price list page at any time, using the pump icon at the bottom of the screen.
You can search for prices at www.gasbuddy.com as well! Simply type in your city or zip code, then hit Find Gas. You can also select the Gas Tools menu at the top of the page to access Maps.

Searching different fuel types
In the app, while viewing the list of stations after an initial search:
- Tap the currently selected FUEL TYPE in the menu between the search bar and the list of prices
- Select the fuel type you would like to view
- Stations that do not carry the selected fuel type will not show
The list automatically updates to your selection and remains as such until you change it.
You can switch fuel type on the web at www.gasbuddy.com using the drop-down menu, located between the search bar and the Find Gas button.
