The update has been submitted to Apple and should be approved in mid June… And here’s the great thing: Most every time you use GasBuddy when filling your tank, you save more than what the app costs. And, for example, in Dallas, TX a GasBuddy user will save as much as $300 a year (your mileage may vary). Truly amazing!
