Gas Guru: Cheap Gas Prices Reviews

I’ve been using GasGuru for several years now, and I love using it. Although gas prices are sometimes off by a few cents, it’s still very accurate and has save me a lot of money on gas over the years. The only thing I’d like to see the developers add to GasGuru would be to have the operating hours of each gas station on the “gas station more details” page. Whether those hours are posted by the developers themselves, or if there were a feature to allow users to report the operating hours of specific gas stations in the way that GasGuru allows for users to report gas prices for specific gas stations. Again, I would strongly recommend getting GasGuru, it’s very useful, and with little to no hassle

I LOVE GasGuru! It has always worked for me. I travel my very large state from corner to corner and everything in between via main arteries to unmarked logging ’roads’ weekly. I’ve been using GasGuru to find gas (and the occasional mechanic) during my travels for the past 2-3 years and it’s never failed me. I’m reading a lot of reviews saying it’s lacking this or that. If it had this or that, it probably wouldn’t be free anymore. GasGuru does exactly as it states so I don’t see how anyone can be intellectually honest and grade it below 5 stars. There are gas apps out there that do exactly what the complainers want but they aren’t free. Again, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, app does what it states.

I am astounded by the application's minimalistic design: the icon, map, buttons, etc. I think the interface is easy to use while I'm on the go. GasGuru has the best appearance compared to competitor applications.
I would love to see a "settings" button near the "info" button because I want the opportunity to set the default "sort by" to "price" instead of it automatically being set as "distance".
I think it would be even greater if we could also set the default application view to "list" instead of opening directly to the map.
Great work! I'm glad I found the application that works for me.

Today 6/9/18 Saturday morning family out on a drive in the country we needed gas as I had used GasGuru previously and I did work I trusted it to be on point again, BOY WAS I WRONG!!! GasGuru 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 GasGuru 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.

GasGuru 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 GasGuru, 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 GasGuru when there are other more reliable apps at my fingertips.

I've been using GasGuru 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, GasGuru 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 GasGuru to anyone that needs it!

Are used to use fuel finder but that became an outdated. So I look for a new app. I tried gas buddy but it seem little over-the-top for what I needed. I tried GasGuru and it's very simple to use give me exactly what I needed it is for the most part very accurate as it gets and bases this pricing directly from the oil industry. I also like the fact uses location services only while using GasGuru unlike gas buddy which uses location services all the time which can be a drain on the battery. Get GasGuru, you won't be disappointed.

I used to love GasGuru and had recommended it to friends and family. Unfortunately, in the last update, you no longer list Costco in Lantana, FL which consistently has the lowest priced gas in my area (“great price”). I don’t know how or why this happened. Costco is still selling gas at a lower price than any other gas station in the area according to one of your competitors. Last summer Costco renovated and added several more pumps to meet the demand so it’s not like they’re getting out of the gas business. Please put Costco back!! Until you do, I have to check it out with one of your competitors.
Also, you show the Mobil station at 1510 Hypoluxo Rd in Lantana, FL is a 7-11. I don’t know if the store is a
7-11 but the gas is Mobil and the only signs say Mobil.

I checked out several apps, and talked to a number of people before selecting this one. I have found it to be very easy to use, even as technology-challenged as I am ! It has been accurate so far, I have been using it for almost a year. Several people warned me about the "other drivers using it" feature of a different, well-know app and I certainly did NOT like that - neither did those who were using it. I definitely recommended that they switch to Gas Guru !

I would like to see an option for reporting an incorrect price. I’ve frequently gone to a gas station and the actual price differed from the price in GasGuru . This morning, a Regular price was ‘updated 18 hrs ago’, and GasGuru price was $0.32/gal lower than the actual price. The mid and premium grade prices were updated 1-2 hrs ago and were correct. If 2 grades of gas are updated, why not all 3? Seems like bait and switch to me. Also GasGuru price sometimes shows the price with a car wash, or if paying with cash, not the true gas price.

Have used GasGuru for years. Very helpful and is easy to use. Just wish there was a feature where you only see the gas stations along my current route. But I guess it would some how have have to link up with the Apple Maps or something. Would be cool though! And we could use it like Waze where it can be brought up on my trucks screen. Other than that, I’m overall satisfied. Does what I need and it finds me all the stations and the current prices.

1. Station names very confusing. A lot are not what is posted and you have to guess which station is which.
2. Prices look to be copied from Gas Buddy. I checked and most times listed are very similar to when prices were posted on GB.
3. When looking at list view of prices, cities are not listed. This is confusing when looking in town.
4. No option for cash/credit price differential.
I redownloaded this out of disgust at Gas Buddy's horrible upgrade, but find the exact same problems which made me originally delete this waste of time app. I have left the rest of my review the same since GasGuru has the same problems which caused me to originally delete it. Gas Buddy wins by default.

I like GasGuru not to complicate to use like other apps. Simple and don’t need to add credit cards or earn points for nothing it’s just a basic app to find best prices in town or any town/city I select.
I can switch from different gas grade to diesel, I can switch from list to map view. I travel a lot and I can start looking at next town for best prices along my way. I can pan around and zoom in.

I live in a suburb of Milwaukee and GasGuru is the most reliable by far. Rather than rely on motivating busy drivers to enter accurate prices, this system relies on station operators to call in their price daily. If they forget, then their station is left out of the results which costs them customers and money ... so most stations enter accurate prices! It truly is worth your while to try GasGuru and see how it works in your area.

I got tired of Gas Buddy's app getting progressively worse so I decided to try out new apps. So far so good but I am concerned about the inability to report inaccurate pricing. In Gas Buddy I noticed that some gas stations would have their price consistently underreported which lead me to believe the station operator was responsible. Therefore, an app that depends on station owners to report their prices (rather than users) should allow users to report inaccurate prices and have delisting as a penalty for stations that consistently underreport.

The magical part being, the prices don't seem to be crowdsourced!! I think i have a little clue how that trick might work but hey! I won't tell anyone as long as I have this one basic feature that the other couldn't give me!! A dynamic gps based map interface. Thank God.
I would like to contribute to the community tho but, whatever. I guess well leave the crowdsourcing to them others, and the usability to gas guru

I use Gas Guru because it doesn’t hog memory and battery as Gas Buddy tends to do.
The map is easy to use to scan ahead along the route.
What I don’t like is that the best prices are often not correct.
Several times I went slightly out of my way for an exceptional good price, only to find out that the price had gone up.
As there is no crowd feedback, I assume that the gas stations submit the prices and sometimes use falsely low prices to lure customers.

They recently updated GasGuru and it’s HORRIBLE since. The map used to be interactive in that it would quickly update with gas prices based on where you centered the map but now it doesn’t update as you move the map, you have to type in specific towns and hope it catches all the stations in that area. Even the current location setting is super glitchy, especially after you just checked a specific town and then try to go back to current location. Only have 2 stars because up until a week or two ago, GasGuru was great

I personally like it. I’ve had good luck with it. I find that on occasion one or two prices may be off. Usually it’s because the gas station hasn’t reported the new price. Sometime it’s a Conveniace store that hasn’t had a chance to report the change immediately because they’re busy. Most of the time they’re right on. It’s much better than riding to the different stations in your area.
