Are you a current member who is visiting the GasBuddy website and posting prices. However, (oh shucks!) the station you'd like to post prices for isn't in the database yet? If you don't have 10,000 points and would like to contribute to the adding of stations, this article is for you. You can suggest for someone to add it for you.

Steps

Visit the GasBuddy homepage in your web browser.

Select your state, and "location" (a more regional area of your state) from the menu in about the center area of the screen.

Hover over the "Forum" button from the top of the page.

Click the "Message Forum" subsection button.

Click the link labelled "Talk Back to Us".

Click the "Post new topic" button which can be found to the right of the page numbers of additional posts.

Click into the field labeled "Topic" and type your topic name. Your best bet at getting your topic seen by those who can add it is to type "Please add (x)(station-type) to (x) (city-state)" (non-MSL member).

Type in a short message (in the box labelled "Message") telling the people that you don't have the 10,000 points that's required to grab the Master Station List (MSL), but that you'd still like to contribute.

Include other information such as the name of the station-type, its address including its city, state and zip. Also include as much detail as you remember about the station, including what grades of gas the place sells and many others as listed in Master Station List (aka master database).
