Fuel prices!

[HHR]

If you have the GasBuddy app for iPad or smartphone it will show you prices near your current location automatically.

I have filled up 13 times in the last 6 days over 3400 miles and have found that GasBuddy is wrong 50% of the time. The problem is that station owners seem to update their prices lower than they really are and their competitors higher. Many station prices don't get reported or have already changed by the time you get there. I like the idea, but the app has been a disappointment lately.

Short of a real time feed, Gasbuddy is as accurate as it can be.

I have found it to very accurate. I have been using it for 3 years and can't ever remember it not being accurate.

You must have good reporters. I try to update prices when I get a chance. It's either really good or really bad.

It may be just coincidence, but about 3 weeks ago our local WaWa market jumped the price of diesel to 4.099, 20 cents above everyone else, even their other stores in the same county. I could go down the street and get diesel for 3.899, only 3.5 miles away and a place I pass by at least twice a week.

I wrote WaWa and told them so and that they had lost my business until the price dropped. I got a reply and the standard excuses. But then, 2 days later the price was back down to 3.939, and no one else had dropped their prices.

So I don't know for sure that my (and maybe a few others) email made them rethink their prices, but I'd like to think they were listening.

Well, got in from work, filled the old fuel burner up, 3.89 for diesel here in Pocahontas, AR. Gas is 3.16! LUTT

Here in N.S. diesel is $1.50 a liter, now to convert to US $ that would be $1.5/l times 3.78 liters (1 US gallon) = $5.67 Canadian dollars, wait, since our dollar is not at par anymore it gets better. $5.67 divided by .9 ($1 Canadian will buy .90 cents US) =$6.30 US/gal

Today, at the same 7-11 I gassed up at the other day, 91 was $4.29 and diesel $3.99 still. Prices are everywhere.
