Waze includes a feature to track the locations of fuel (gas, diesel, petrol, etc.) stations and the current prices at those stations. Drivers can use the Waze app to search for their favorite brand of fuel or the best prices nearest their current location. [[Glossary|Wazer]]s who want to get extra points and help their fellow Wazers can enter the current price of local stations while they fill up or are stopped at a light near one.

=== Search for a station ===
 
To search for fuel stations near you click on '''Menu''' >> '''Navigate'''
 
[[Image:IMG_1147.jpg|240px]]
 
Now choose '''Categories''':
 
[[Image:IMG_1265.jpg|240px]]
 
And select '''Gas Station''' from the list:
 
[[Image:GasT3.JPG|240px]]
 
Here you'll see all stations near you sorted by price. You can choose a different sort order from the settings menu.
 
[[Image:GasT4.JPG|240px]]
 
 
'''Please note that you can choose to view stations from different search providers, but you won't see the prices. The prices for stations are available on Waze search provider only!'''
 
[[Image:GasT18.JPG|240px]]
 
 
You also can click on '''map''' to view the fuel stations around you:
 
[[Image:GasT19.JPG|240px]]
 
Once you have selected the desired station you'll see the preview window:
 
[[Image:GasT5.JPG|240px]]
 
At the '''Location''' tab you can:
 
* View the station on the map.
* See the phone number.
* Press '''More''' to 1) Add a stop point (see how to add a stop point), 2) Set as start point, 3) Show on map, and 4) Share the location.
* Add the place to favorites.
* Press '''Go''' to navigate to the station.
 
The '''Info''' tab shows more about the station including the phone number, a photo of the station, prices, and when the prices were last updated.
 
At the '''Specials''' tab you can check for any coupons or discounts for that station.
 
[[Image:GasT20.JPG|240px]]
 
=== Update prices ===
 
When you're in or very near a fuel station you can update the fuel price.
 
Click on '''Report'''
 
[[Image:GassP1.jpeg|240px]]
 
Choose '''Gas Prices'''
 
[[Image:GassP2.jpeg|240px]]
 
Choose the station from the list:
 
[[Image:GasT9.JPG|240px]]
 
 
Here you'll see the prices for each grade of fuel:
 
*Regular
*Midgrade
*Premium
*Diesel
 
[[Image:GasT10.JPG|240px]]
 
Note: Waze only tracks a single price for each fuel grade. If a station offers a different price for cash or credit, the credit price is the recommended one to enter. The reason is for consistency among all Wazers and most people know the credit price is higher by a typical amount (when not the same as cash).  In addition, the 3rd-Party pricing that Waze gets for some stations is the credit price.  Entering the cash price only creates an inconsistency.
 
If the prices are correct, press '''Yes''' and the date will be updated to today as the most recent price check date. If any of them are wrong, press '''No''' to begin updating the prices.
 
To update a price just tap on the current price and update the price. If that grade of fuel is not available at that station, press the '''Not Available''' button. If the current price is accurate for that grade, press '''Next''' to keep the current price and move to the next grade.
 
[[Image:GasT11.JPG|240px]]
 
Click '''Send''' to save the update.
 
[[Image:GasT17New.jpg|240px]]
 
Currently saving the prices for a station provides the Wazer 8 points.
 
=== Station Settings (preferred station, gas type, sort by) ===
 
You can choose to view only preferred gas stations, preferred gas types, and have them sorted.
 
* Open the '''Menu''' and choose '''Settings''':
 
[[Image:IMG_1148.jpg|240px]]
 
In the settings menu scroll down and choose '''Gas stations''':
 
[[Image:GasT12.JPG|240px]]
 
==== Preferred Station ====
 
Choose '''Preferred station''':
 
[[Image:GasT13.JPG|240px]]
 
Here you can choose to show All stations or only one:
 
[[Image:GasT14.JPG|240px]]
 
==== Gas Type ====
 
Choose the price of the gas type that you want to see when searching for a station:
 
[[Image:GasT15.JPG|240px]]
 
Here you will see the price of the selected gas type:
 
[[Image:GasT4.JPG|240px]]
 
==== Sort By ====
 
Choose how you want to view the search results of the gas stations:
 
[[Image:GasT16.JPG|240px]]
 
*Sort by Price
*Sort by Distance
*Sort by Brand

=== Add a station (currently applies only for world server) ===
This section is currently only applicable to the World Server and not the North American server. It is planned for the North American server in the near future.
{{Adding_Gas_Stations}}
 
=== Remove a station ===
Currently only the World Server provides direct access to remove stations. From the Waze Map Editor enable Landmarks to see the outline of the station. Delete the landmark and save the changes.
 
For the North American server, until the Waze Map Editor can directly access the gas stations, the best way to indicate a station is closed is to use the Waze client app. Drive to the location of the station and use the option to update the fuel prices outlined above. For each fuel type use the "Not Available" option and save the changes. This will prevent the station from being displayed in the client app until it can be removed completely.
 
=== Gas Station Feature - Countries  ===
 
The following countries currently are able to use the gas price feature on Waze. If your country does not yet have this feature, you can help the process by adding missing stations on our Map Editor or editing the existing ones. Once we have enough data in any given country, gas prices will be available there too.
