EditTips

  • If you don't have the 10,000 point minimum, you can still post a new discussion of editing the station information. Someone will take care of it at some point. Make sure to tell people what is wrong and tell people what it should be corrected to. Post the new message in the "Talk Back to Us" link in their forums page.
  • If you can also mention in your post what grades of gas are available, and if any of the service-information provided in the Add a New Gas Station Listing to the GasBuddy Database article is available at the station, it would be much appreciated to the editing member.
  • If the station built a new station nearby the old station, instead of changing the address, mark the old station address as "Closed-Permanently" and Add a New Gas Station Listing to the GasBuddy Database for the new station address.
