Can't figure out new gas buddy

must be a local setting issue..

I went from old to new with no major changes... EASY.

I open it.. up comes the local gas stations.. like before.... just looks different.

Same here no problems

I do have the GasBuddy app, but don't use it too often. I did use it this past weekend and noticed the redesign, but it wasn't an issue for me. I don't use it to plan my gas stops, I just want to find the best price in the area I am at, so I just tap the Find Gas Near Me button to get prices.

I do like that the iExit app has partnered with GasBuddy to show gas prices in iExit at upcoming exits for an additional $2.

Why do we rely on this stuff? Well, It's not essential, but it was nice to have. After reading the above posts (and thanks, folks) I still can't find the list of stations and prices. But when I buy 100 gallons at a time and see variations of 30 cents/gallon among stations then I definitely pay attention to the price.

You should be able to put in your city & state and get a list. If not, it isn't working right.

Maybe delete the app and re-install it if you can't get anywhere.

x2 sometimes that's the right choice, just uninstall and re-install.

It's literally 1 button.... turn it on and tap the map if you like that, or click the round logo if you want a list.

If you're looking ahead type in the city, state and hit search. That's it! The top left button of the app switches from map to list view.

GasBuddy and many other apps had to be updated to work correctly with Apples' new OS 10 for the iPhone.

Along with doing the technical updates necessary - GasBuddy did a complete redesign of the app.

One change I don't like is now it wants you to create an account and login so they can better track what you do with the app.

The Pilot/Flying J app did such an update recently - and it is a mess.

We don't use the Gas Buddy app so...thanks for the reply and maybe thats what the OP is referring to.

I just put in a zip code and it shows stations around me!

just saying, let it go :) APPS make our lives more miserable mostly then productive out in the real world..........and of course just my opinion :)

As usual you add very little to the discussion. My GassBuddy format has not changed on my phone???

On this two month trip out West it will save me over $300. By buying diesel in Fernley, NV at $2.35 instead of CA at $3+ I saved $75 on one 100 gallon fill up. I also spent the night in their quite parking area for free. Does that up it to a $100 savings?

I have not bought fuel at a Pilot/Flying J in 6-7 years... ever since Pilot bought Flying J and their prices are 15 cents higher than a station 4 blocks further from the interstate... only a 15 to 20 dollar savings and yes I usually get 100 gallons at a time as I already know what areas have better prices before I leave home... another 10+ cent savings.

........and of course just my opinion.:W

We don't use it to find the cheapest possible, but it's nice because it shows which stations sell diesel before pulling the trailer all the way to a station only to find they don't have diesel.

And, if it does help you to save 20 cents a gallon by just driving a mile further off the interstate, then to me, that's worth it.

They've changed gas buddy, and I can't figure out how to use it. I used to select a state and then search for a city. Now I have to select a county. What a pain. And I don't see any way to get diesel prices.

Works fine on laptop/computer.

Are you talking about the App?

IN my travels gas buddy finds real savings for example in the Irving< NY area the prices range from $1.66 to $2.31 per gallon that is 65 cents a gallon times 60 gallons in my Motorhome is over $30.00 worth 5 to 10 minute drive
diesel is $1.95 to 2.59 a gallon a similar savings.
It also helps me find Sam's Clubs.
Other times I have found 5-10 cent savings by going a block off the interstate or going to another exit instead of the one I am near. In Ohio the BP at at I90 and Vrootman road is $2.15 a gallon but the next exit east state rte 44 and I90 the BP station is $2.09 a gallon. But the flyingJ at another exit is only $1.95 and I get a discount off that I am going past them all I will pay the cheapest price. 14 cents a gallon savings using a FREE APP. again 60 gallons 7-8 bucks in my pocket with no extra effort on my part
