Gas-Stations  
The option to update gas-prices in real-time has been activated in Colombia.  
This brings us to 24 countries that have the Gas-Prices feature active, and we still have more countries that are almost ready to be added.

Community & Social  
Our budding community in Turkey created their own page: [WazeTurkiye](http://www.facebook.com/WazeTurkiye) Hoşgeldiniz Waze.

Some serious accomplishments were made in the last 2 weeks, so congratulations are due:  
We have 3 Wazers who got 1 million points: orbitc, cherianchris & harling. Fantatstic!

txemt, one of our USA Champs has gotten to 500,000 edits. WOW.  
Coming up close behind him, with 400,000 edits, are these guys: mrgrumpy, jondrush & pulsarxp.

We also have 3 new Wazers who joined the 200,000 edits club: Vectorspace, skippy10 & ArlenBystander – they all have been promoted to 5 cones. WELL DONE.

One last special congratulation – to our Wazer Panda47, how just got married.
