Apparently, gas stations that have prices formatted as X.X accept a price update with the same format, but not a price update with the new format!

As far as I remember it's not possible through Android Auto. I think I read that somewhere on the forum (not using AA myself).

Apparently today I was able to update x.x prices to xxx.x! Maybe there was a silent fix? Anyone else tried, or willing to give it a go?

I attempt almost any petrol station I drive by at a safe speed, or even walk by tbh.

This morning I tried 2 more close to work and my excitement was short lived, both of them returned the "Uh oh!" error again :C

It is taking waaay too long for HQ to react on this one! I'm recently receiving promotional pop-ups for the gas price feature too, which makes the app look stupid :(

In the meantime, what do you think of the approach I'm using? When I get the "Uh-Oh!", I set the fuels with x.x prices to not available. This has the following effects:
1. Search results are less cluttered with (useless) x.x values;
2. Most users will try to update with xxx.x, get the "Uh-Oh!" and leave it blank.

If you're nosy enough (like Tony_Palfi who's the biggest fan of x.x around Dublin), you can still update the price of a fuel that's previously been set to Not Available to x.x.

Standing by for HQ reply so.

Good news, Waze HQ has rectified the issue!!

They also removed the prices from 246 gas stations that showed the price in "x.x".

I was out and about today, and updated the price in a good few gas stations - I can happily confirm they accepted the xxx.x price. Happy days!

I tried updating a bunch of stations last week and during the weekend, and some allowed me to mark fuels unavailable, submit, add price, submit. Some would not allow me to add the price for neither fuels, some would allow me only one. Nonsense basically!!

PS: I'm also on Android.

Update from HQ on fuel prices: "please wait a few more days before trying to update the prices. We need to configure another thing for the gas stations."

Attempting to update prices in the meantime will not break anything but we'll keep getting an error.
