It is evident that Elderberry quit posting a couple of months ago and MarioG has not posted for several days. I have not seen him mention that he was leaving town, but he had said earlier he thought he would have a job in Texas early in the new year.

loujerb Champion Author Shreveport Posts:5,535 Points:1,151,000 Joined:Aug 2005	Message Posted: Jul 1, 2010 3:24:16 PM Ignore loujerb Report Abuse Yesterday i got gas at Brookshire's on N. Market for $2.55. 3 hours later i went by and it was $2.51. Today it is at $2.59. I guess they are just playing around with the prices. Ofcourse it could be because of the 4th of July holiday and have not figure what prices to put up.

I can not zero out older duplicate prices etc and the board needs to be cleaned up almost every day. It is their board and they can sure run it the way they want.
loujerb Champion Author Shreveport Posts:5,535 Points:1,151,000 Joined:Aug 2005	Message Posted: Dec 24, 2009 3:26:21 PM Ignore loujerb Report Abuse I have to drive 5 miles just to get to the first station. 8.5 miles to get to the second one. To get some Sheveport stations 13.3 miles and 13.3 miles to get Love's and Flying J and that's all one way. I have been retired for 7 years.

It took a long time and I will probably cut down on posting prices. I generally have to drive 5 miles every day to post the prices as I have been retired 19 years, so that will definitely slow down. Also, GB still has me on restrictions as I use Bert Kouns on some stations and not their Bert Kouns Industrial Loop Expy. Ridiculous.

I will stay with Bert Kouns per their agreement that is worthless. One problem with the board is that I can not zero out previous post with the same address. This gives me three post of the same station on the board. I used to zero out the older post but can no longer do it. You or someone needs to clean up the board as I am unable to do it.

I put it down as the addresses from the stations and they tell me it is not right. So i just go ahead and put it the way they want it. It is funny that we live here and know what the name of the streets are and we do not know them and they do.

GB is going to block me from now on as they will not live up to their agreement and I will not change one station from the Bert Kouns. This could be adios for me on the board. Message Posted: May 27, 2009 11:22:52 Ignore ralphh59 Report Abuse We have 4-5 people that post gas prices on Bert Kouns, but I doubt that I will get any additional responses. I will keep posting the request from GasBuddy and if we have no responses to the contrary, they will go with just Bert Kouns. GasBuddy wants everyone to have the same address listed for each station. Right now we have 4-5 different listings for a station. That will be difficult to do as very few posters in the Shreveport area read the "Shreveport Discussion Forums". One address that needs to be clarified is Bert Kouns as there are several stations on that street. Right now people are posting Bert Kouns, Bert Kouns Industrial, and Bert Kouns Industrial Loop. The stations I have on my master list have Bert Kouns or E. Bert Kouns. Is this agreeable to everyone or what would be the better posting?

I checked his profile and it would not come up, could not find him. I have not tried to win any gas either.

I have told them that a Circle K address on Walker Road and Mackey is the correct address, but they have never included it in the Master's List. They have Bert Kouns listed four different ways and I told them on May 26th that it needs to be Bert Kouns, but it still has not been changed. With the attitude they have (THIS IS NO LONGER OPTIONAL) you would think they are paying us to post prices.
loujerb Champion Author Shreveport Posts:5,535 Points:1,151,000 Joined:Aug 2005	Message Posted: Jun 29, 2009 5:28:56 PM Ignore loujerb Report Abuse I guess i will just read the news stories and post on the message board. They are sure getting pickie on posting gas prices.

The problem is that their Master List is incomplete and does not have stations that are generally posted every day. I guess they will eventually delete all stations that we posts that are not on the Master's List. I have 30 stations on my list that I post and I can only match 13 by their Master List, so I will stop posting when and if they delete stations on my list. From GB "Most addresses can be taken from the Master Station List or by asking other local members in the local forum. Each address you post should be from the Master Station List. Each of your Favorite Station List entries should say Matched to the right of them. We require members to use the addresses from the MSL. THIS IS NO LONGER OPTIONAL." (My caps)

I passed Valero and it was $1.41. When I went back by on the way home it was 1.49. I pay more attention to the RBOB price on CNBC than the price of crude and it looks as if it could be around $1.60 shortly unless there is a change. I am surprised crude is still going down as OPEC is supposed to cut production by another 2 million barrels a day and Russia is going along with a cut in production. They are hurting with crude prices low and will do everything they can to get crude back up to the $75-80 range.

I hope you will continue posting like loujerb has. I have been posting for over four years and I am not sure if I am addictive to it or just competitive. We were down to just a few posters for a couple of years but the interest has picked up considerably in the last few months. As loujerb said, you can pick up 975 points each day and 1,075 on Sunday by answering a weekly poll question.

If you click on one of the cars on the price list, it will tell you how to earn pionts. You can get 975 points a day.
