Data Quality
Prices on GasBuddy are crowdsourced, meaning they are reported by users and may have slight delays. The lastUpdated timestamp indicates when each price was last confirmed. For the most accurate pricing, focus on recently updated stations.
Limitations
- Prices are crowdsourced and may not always be up to the minute
- Not all gas stations are listed on GasBuddy
- Cash vs credit pricing differences may not be available for all stations
- Price data accuracy depends on user reporting frequency
- Some stations may only show prices for certain fuel grades
