Gas Guru: Cheap Gas Prices

I have been using the Gas Guru app for quite some time and have found it useful. I only wish the developers would add a feature which is selectable in the settings to only search for gas stations along my current route of travel. I find it frustrating when Gas Guru gives me search results for service stations that I’ve already passed along my route. Unless I am totally out of fuel there is no reason for me to double back 5 or 10 miles to get to the lowest prices for gasoline. I would like to limit the search to gas stations ahead of me along my route and then I can choose which one(s) have the best prices. I can also determine what my current range is for the fuel I still have in my tank. Please consider this feature request for future releases.

I've been using this app for about a month now and I absolutely love it! I had tried out a couple other similar apps and was very disappointed with the results; so I was skeptical about this one at first. But I have to say, this app is very very accurate. This offers me the option of looking at all the prices in my area and compare them without even having to drive around! The prices that are given to me is accurate 98% of the time. The only times it isn't accurate is when the prices are suddenly surging too fast. I would definitely recommend this app to anyone that needs it!

Today 6/9/18 Saturday morning family out on a drive in the country we needed gas as I had used this app previously and I did work I trusted it to be on point again, BOY WAS I WRONG!!! This app told me of a cheap gas location that didn’t exist and it was a 6 mile drive to Mississippi just to have to turn around and find our way back to another gas station I’ll be uninstalling this app glitches like these are dangerous sending people on wild goose chases to non existent places I would have understood a wrong price or even if it was a place that had closed and maybe you guys didn’t know but there was nothing there but an crop field not a store or anything that could have been mistaken for a gas station very frustrating. I googled that gas station when I got home and the directions provided weren’t even close to where we should have been.

Gas prices vary considerably from location to location even within a small urban area. For obvious reasons, gas stations on roads less travelled charge less—as much as 50¢ a gallon less. My car takes something north of 15 gallons to fill up. That’s $7.50 in my pocket. Worth a little trouble. Gas Guru finds the cheapest station near me. It’s usually not far. It doesn’t always have the price exactly right, but it’s close enough. Its interface is well thought out. The fact that it makes the marketplace more efficient (as an economist would put it) is a pleasing thought.

The app loads fast and has a sleek, easy to navigate layout. But where do the prices come from? Over the past month or so, I found several that were rarely correct. Accuracy is apparently not a strong point with this app, and with the volatile market of fuel prices, having current information is the primary key for apps based on fluctuating figures. Another missing data point is the cash price - often the standard when comparing gas prices between stations. Without the date and/or time a price was posted, or information about where the price came from, it's not worth my time to check this app when there are other more reliable apps at my fingertips.
