Och, that does keep all three listings for the same station (with three different prices and addresses) on the list.
I know it can be real confusing on which one is the real price, and the only way is to read all three dates of input.
I don't see why the correct station address would be confusing to anyone, especially to people passing through the area, as they go by the true address of the station, and can only find many stations by the number.
There are many stations that don't have a cross street, so why not just have a commonality in the system, instead of a two - three tier system?
Just my thoughts, mind you.

On the master map they have to be correct but on the prices list at times it is easier to put a station in as cumberland farms because people passing through the area looking for the best prices aren't going to be familiar with the address, and being this is fla. we have to keep the tourists in mind

I don't 'generally' care what anyone does, as long as they post correct prices.
What I wish would be looked at, by all in-putters, is that when there are two or three prices listed, for the same station, that the most complete "correct" address be adopted by all the in-putters.
I believe that you should always put the actual station mailing address street first, then the secondary cross street second. For example, (i.e.- 11543 Maple Ave @ Ash street).
It would make things a bit cleaner and easier for the system to remove the older posts when a new one is submitted.

I post prices and another person will repost but most times there has been a price change, or its way later in the day

Jemac- I am happy to know that I helped make your day as well. I do not write them down, but I do have a digital recorder that I use. I can not rely on my memory either. I must be getting old, because I don't think it's the dope or the heroin..................(thats another joke)
take care!

daryldude69, you gave me a good chuckle with your 'upbeat' humor, also.
If the person is new, and wrote to GB, they must not realize that prices can change in a flash, and by the time they saw them, the station may have made a price change for the day. Once again, no need to contact GB.
I have someone that sometimes seems to get it wrong when posting a price, but I take it in stride and assume the price did change.
I make sure I write all the prices down, so I don't error, as I pass the stations. I leave nothing to memory.

Thanks Kip- but I cant help it.... I like to vent. I know I have a temper and I take things personal when someone accuses me of lying. But honestly I cant help it, I never get physical but I just cant hold things back. And I just want whoever it is to know that it is a bunch of BS to write to gas buddy and say that my gas prices are wrong when it is obvious that:
1) You do not even live in my area or 2) You are posting the prices 4 to 5 hours after I have posted them
See Kip here I am venting again. I feel better, and it also makes me feel better that someone is telling me to relax and that they are going through the same crap I am.
So to make a long story very short..... Thank you Kip, and have a great 4th of July weekend.

Jeepgal55 you should go by your gas stations again.... All of the prices you have posted are wrong! Not 1 or 2 but ALL of them. Every damn one.

Nevermind I can see who it would have to be. And obviously when I passed by Murphy USA at 7:00 AM (when the price was $2.79) It could not of possibly been, because at 12:30 Jeepgoul55 says it was $2.82.................. Well sorry, miss!!!! Should I start taking pictures as I pass by the damn gas station! How long have you been posting prices maybe 2 weeks now.............Get a grip!
