GasBuddy collects real-time prices from over 750,000 volunteer price "spotters," who send in daily updates from the local stations. Volunteers send in their local gas station's prices for regular unleaded and diesel fuel, which are then posted along with the time and date of observation.Reported gas prices are removed within a 24-96 hour time frame from when they were posted, which helps to keep the price data as current as possible.
