Updating petrol prices

[YanisKyr]

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!

Would it be possible to get the date that the price was updated on. take the below as an example https://imgur.com/a/R8V8itr shows the price as today when the price is wrong as i have gotten caught out once or twice at different stations with this. Side note hopefully will be able to update fuel prices on car paly.

I'd like to have that too, but here is a way of getting that information: if you go back to the list of petrol stations (hit the left-arrow in your screenshot), then the last-updated date is shown in the last of stations. It lets you avoid picking one that hasn't been updated three months ago.

The prices are screwed up again, I tried entering on Friday and it was forcing me into a "x.xxx" format despite still claiming "c", and now every price has three digits after the decimal point.

You're right. Waze HQ was meant to be looking into it, but I haven't heard anything for a couple of weeks.

I'll send them a message now to see what the story is...

Any news on this? It was still broken yesterday.
With the demise of Pumps.ie a lot of people were moving to Waze for fuel prices, but if the functionality keeps breaking then people are just going to move away again...

Yeah, Yanis has just fired a request for an update to our contact in Waze HQ because, as you point out, it's still broken, and it's pretty annoying.

It was broken for most of a year up until June after we changed the price format from X.xx (euro amount and two digits for cents) to xxx.x (total cent amount plus one digit for decimal), and that had only been fixed for a short while before the current problem happened.

All I can say is watch this space. We'll keep poking Waze HQ in the hope of a resolution...

I see prices are being updated by some magical people - as stations I visit frequently have prices updated within the last few days, albeit in completely the wrong format, yet I am powerless to change them.

Is it just the Android app which is knackered - or is there something else going on?
