GasBuddy celebrates 100M downloads in the U.S.
The average gas price in the U.S. reached over $5 per gallon this summer, making traveling the most expensive it has ever been.
GasBuddy is celebrating 100 million app downloads since its launch in 2010. To mark this milestone, the company is giving out $10,000 in free gas to users of the app
“With recent events like spiking gas prices causing app downloads to skyrocket, the real-time information and savings GasBuddy provides to American drivers has never been more important. Our GasBuddies make us better, in fact, we couldn't offer the gas savings that we do without them. So, we wanted to find a way to thank our community and recognize that everything is #BetterWithABuddy,” said Mark Coffey, SVP and general manager for GasBuddy.
The average gas price in the U.S. reached over $5 per gallon this summer, making traveling with your buddies the most expensive it has ever been. A recent GasBuddy user survey revealed that 70% said their summer travel plans have been affected by high gas prices (an increase of 24% over 2021).
GasBuddy currently gets fuel price data for over 150,000 gas stations in the U.S. and Canada and it has more than 1.5 million members of its gas-savings card.
The sweepstakes opens on August 4th and closes on August 18th and will reward 100 loyal users $100, and one lucky winner with $1,000 in gas money.
