qusi-Gas Buddy

Post by mitchejj
:idea: One thing I would love to see a waze like product/app to have would be a gas buddy reporting system. With the GPS mapping in place you have exact locations and real time gas price reporting. Maybe some day when your able to search and enter POI on the phone...

Gas Buddy was riddled with inaccurate reports due to people just parroting inaccurate prices. I was a top reporter in my state and finally just got fed up with this issue. Gas prices should be reported by someone stationary at the station. This is how I completed price reports as a LEO. I reported the prices where I was doing business checks, not just driving close by and parroting the last report. In the latest version, the wheel input has to go and be replaced with the keypad method. However, the automatic return to the map after submitting the prices was tip top.

That could work however you would want the gas prices be able to centrally collect all gas price and key it to a date and time so you could do some type of statistical analysis over time... not to mention the gas prices should have a short time span, 2-3 days.
