Kinda reminds me of the GasBuddy app that informs customers of varying gas prices in their area, and of course GasBuddy realized how much power they were weilding with this app, and has sold its soul to the devil and now incorporates customer psychological manipulation & data mining into the app.

    Yeah... I was an early adopter of GasBuddy and kept my locals up to date. Made more people use it and it was great for a bit. Then enshittificaiton happened... Big corps pull a bait and switch. Small companies sell out...

    Yup. Have to change a setting to see stations that don't have a GasBuddy deal. Such as Costco, which Always has much cheaper prices where I live than anything else.

    The only way I've been able to find Costco gas prices is to go to the Costco website then search each location separately, quite a time-consuming headache, but I spent a couple hours doing that one day a couple summers ago to figure out which Costcos in California have diesel.
