scoutmaster - Up until this week, I'd simply say, "Suggest it twice a day in the app until it changes;" however, I've run into a snag myself lately. I've been trying to suggest off the 4 Brothers logos (they were acquired by Quality Mart) on those that are or have recently become BP stations, and the ones that aren't already off seem pretty much stuck. My usual method of doing that when GB doesn't have the store logo is to just in the usual manner suggest the fuel brand as the store brand, leaving it in both places when it finally changes. I'm thinking maybe certain ones just hang up, or actually require several members' suggestions. (There are more quirks with 4 Brothers though, so in my case there may be a few obstacles or wrinkles behind this; I can't say I've totally 'cracked the code.') Most of mine, however, have gone smoothly after doing them twice a day for 2-4 days. What I really wish for, though, is a way to get logos off completely when a station goes from branded to unbranded (or no-logo branded). I've brought that up in the past, and the help desk said they'd consider it, but there's been more consideration than action on that front. Oh, well - I'll just continue to try to make a difference where I have the power to do so. In the meantime, tell us which Marathon it is and we can try ganging up on it. May work, may not, but it's worth a shot. Hello! I came across this board a while back when searching for info related to the MSL after discovering the existence of the regional sites, but only tonight did I try suggesting an edit for the entry for the station scoutmaster mentioned. However, it seems to have done the trick, updating immediately as far as I can tell, even though it's currently a Saturday evening and around midnight at that. Needless to say, I'm guessing your "several members' suggestion" theory is correct.

I forgot which station I was talking about?? This is the one I was referring to. Still showed a Citgo logo when I first pulled it up, but is now consistently showing the Marathon logo: It's the Marathon at this address. 580 McNeilly Rd near Pearce Rd Baldwin, PA. Thanks for the help.

Glad to see that it finally worked, scoutmaster. I'd done it a couple of times right after you mentioned it, then forgot about it.

I was going to change a station in my area that changed over a month ago and I was wondering why someone hasn't done it in my area and now I understand why.
** The information for this station is being monitored by the station management, therefore this station's features cannot be editted. **
So this station will be listed wrong for months..........

Been dealing with a Gate station in Concord, NC. Station closed in early Sept, but station is locked. The Gate process that post prices has been posting every hour. I finally submitted a help ticket on Oct 1 to have GB closed it, as the pumps and tanks have been removed. On Oct 4 GBV set it to Closed Permanently. On Oct 13 GBV reopened it and the Gate process started posting out of date prices ($2.75 where current avg now is over $3.16). Submitted another ticket earlier this week, no response as of yet.

So I can't change a current station that has changed but I can add a new one. Gas Buddy seems to get more unfriendly everyday on their site. So I could open a new station and play the Gas Buddy game, that would confuse some people others would get it. The problem with this station is, it's going from a BP to a Mapco, but kitty corner is another existing Mapco, so when it changes in the first place people will be confused on which station gets which price. Mapco bought some BP stations in the area a few years ago but still ran them under the BP name and rewards program or you could use the Mapco rewards system. So I guess that deal has run out now and they are full blown Mapco stations.

That's crazy. I too tried to edit it and got this response... I see though, exactly what you say that GB closed it permanently but then reopened it a few days later! I see your posted pics up there - that might help GB finally realize that it's CLOSED.

Got this response yesterday: “ Hi, Thanks for your response. Please note: we are experiencing higher than normal ticket volumes at this time. However, a member of our support team will review your request and get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, you may find the information you're looking for in our Help Center: help.gasbuddy.com/hc/en-usThank you for your patience.” They wouldn’t have the wait times, IF they didn’t lock the station.

Got this email this morning:
“ Hi,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. As this is a verified station, we’ve forwarded the suggested edit to the station owner for final approval. Please allow some time for the changes to be reviewed.”
Guess the picture I uploaded was not convincing. So they are forwarding it the the same place that is updated bogus prices very hour.
Update: we now have a “Closed Temporary”. Step by Step

With E15 ("Unl88") having been added, a new problem has, too: some stations with E0 are getting E15 suggested onto them, and that's harder to get rid of. GasHole , perhaps you need to expand your GB moniker to "E85andE15areNotE0" Was looking through old posts for the one where someone mentioned that sometimes submitting twice helps when GB refuses to accept a new price due to a 10 cent or more jump (a tip I've found very useful), and noticed this one. Interestingly enough, I noticed that GBVerified added an entry for a new Royal Farms in Opal, VA a few days ago on the 11th. One day after, they added the amenities along with UNL88...but the Royal Farms website's list of new stations doesn't list UNL88/E15 on that station, just E0, and the UNL88 slot has remained blank so far despite the prices for that station receiving good coverage from GB users, leading me to believe they probably don't actually have UNL88. It's possible that someone suggested it through the app, but given that it's (thus far, at least) remained empty, and the MSL edit is directly attributed to GBVerified, it makes me wonder if GB themselves have some kind of a weird policy for the UNL88 similar to what they describe for E0 and E10 in Mid-West states here. I hope that's not the case as it's misleading and there's at least a fair number of stations that sell both UNL88/E15 and E0, and I haven't seen anything else to suggest that it is the case, but seeing your earlier comment on E15 slots being used for E0 made me want to at least mention/leave a note about that weird edit.

There is some hope, though blizzardbird: earlier this week I edited off an E15 on a Circle K with E0 in the Fayetteville, NC area after just two or three suggestions (and got the credit for it, not GBV). At the same time, a BP listed as having only regular in fact has all three standard gas grades plus diesel, and I've tried all week to do that one with no luck. Go figure...
