GasBuddy Community,
We want to inform you about some recent changes to our platform. As part of our ongoing efforts to improve GasBuddy services and streamline operations, we have made the decision to end the GasBuddy local gas price sites, which you may know as chicagogasprices.com, losangelesgasprices.com, or another similar site that provides local gas price trends in your city or state.
WHY THE CHANGE?
While the local gas price sites have been a legacy part of the GasBuddy community, we’ve made the decision to sunset them to focus our resources on enhancing the app experience and other core platform features that benefit our users.
- Improved user experience: Consolidating our services into a single site will provide users with a more consistent experience across all regions. This allows us to focus our resources on delivering new features and improvements that benefit our entire user base, ensuring everyone has access to the most up-to-date tools for finding the best gas prices and more.
- Enhanced mobile functionality: The GasBuddy app is the preferred method for most users to access real-time gas prices and savings on the go. By streamlining our web presence, our development team can dedicate more time and resources to enhancing our mobile app.
WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
We’ve made sure you still have easy access to gas price information.
- Use the GasBuddy mobile app. For the best experience, we recommend downloading GasBuddy’s mobile app. In the app, you can easily find the cheapest gas prices near you—whether at home or on the road—and gain access to exclusive discounts and deals. Download the app here >>> gasbuddy.com/app
- Continue navigating to the same URL you have been (i.e. chicagogasprices.com). The local gas price site pages will automatically redirect you to the main GasBuddy site, where you’ll still be able to report prices and find up-to-date gas prices in your city. Gas price trends, charts and maps are also available at prices.gasbuddy.com.
We also acknowledge that this change will affect your ability to earn points through web actions like voting in the weekly poll or reading news. Rest assured, you can still earn points by reporting prices and completing challenges in the GasBuddy app, and soon, more exciting opportunities will be available for GasBuddies to earn points. Stay tuned!
WHERE TO FIND YOUR FAVORITE FEATURES
You can also still access your favorite features like the Fuel Logbook, GasBuddy Blog and Points Leaderboards on the GasBuddy site.
HOW TO ACCESS THE FUEL LOGBOOK
On the new site, navigate to the top menu bar, and select Gas Tools > Fuel Logbook. You’ll then be prompted to sign in to your GasBuddy account if you haven’t already. Once logged in, your Fuel Logbook will be visible. You can also navigate directly to gasbuddy.com/account/fuel-log-book.
HOW TO ACCESS THE POINTS LEADERBOARDS
On the new site, navigate to the top menu bar, and select Gas Tools > Leaderboards. Log in to see your rank, and sort points leaders by all-time, 30-day, or the first half of the year. Remember, you can report prices and complete challenges in the GasBuddy app to earn points!
HOW TO ACCESS GAS PRICE CHARTS & GRAPHS
On the new site, navigate to the top menu bar, and select Gas Tools > Fuel Insights. Here, you can view the national average, state averages, and recent gas price trends. Select a state from the map to view prices by county. You can also navigate directly to prices.gasbuddy.com.
For gas price charts, navigate to the top menu bar of the Fuel Insights page, and select Price Tools > Charts. Here, you can input your city, state or region and view a chart of gas prices over time.
HOW TO ACCESS THE GASBUDDY BLOG & NEWS ARTICLES
On the new site, navigate to the top menu bar, and select Blog & Podcast > Blog. Here, you’ll be able to read the latest GasBuddy blogs and news updates. Users can no longer earn points from reading articles; however, the GasBuddy blog is a great place to stay up to date on the latest gas price trends.
