Fuel Price service accuracy


Recommended Posts

I'm a little surprised when I searched and didn't see anyone else mention this issue. But has anyone else noticed that the "Fuel Prices" tool within the Sirius Travellink Services is not necessarily up-to-date on the prices that it displays? I have noticed that it doesn't display for every gas station, and I can understand that, but even for the ones that it does the prices seem to be more often than not inaccurate. I know the information comes through the satellite signal, but how does Sirius obtain it? Is it collected randomly by end users (like Gasbuddy, etc), or is is being collected directed from the stations themselves?

With the fluctuation of gas prices recently, I don't doubt that the accuracy is less than satisfactory.
