What is needed is THREE radio check-boxes on the price-reporting tool. One is for cash. One is for credit (and debit) cards. The other refers to the main sign out front.
Many reports are only from the sign out front. Most stations put the cash price on the sign, when the prices are different. But some actually put the credit price out front. (Murphy [Wal-Mart] does this.)
Your servers will quickly learn, just from reported prices, what price the big sign represents. And you will be able to enter the price correctly in your database.
This is ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED for the GasBuddy reporting app and web site to remain useful. We need to know what price it is. Some people only pay by credit card. Some people would pay by cash, if that was the only opportunity to receive a lower price. In my area, you don't have to use cash; the stations with the lowest prices have the same price for cash and credit. But that is not true in all areas.
The GasBuddy app needs to be updated with this ability ASAP. Either that, or be overtaken by another app/database which will do it before you.
You'ld better get to work and do it, or lose your business opportunity.

Whether it does or it does not may be a matter of opinion, but if you're going to say "The I-Phone one SUCKS !!!!!!!!!", maybe you can let people know why you think that.
Personally I think it's a pretty darned good app. It lets me see the price of gas locally, and I can choose if I want to see the prices in a list or on a map. And if I see the prices in a list, I can choose whether I want to sort the prices from low to high, or I can sort the gas stations by distance from me. And it lets me post gas and diesel prices for local gas stations.
Seems like a pretty good app to me.
Maybe you can better explain why I shouldn't like it. With a little more detail than "The I-Phone one SUCKS !!!!!!!!!", I mean.

What platform are you talking about? On the android, if you post from your favorites, any comments stored in your FSL is included in the price post. If you report form stations near me, you can type in a comment.
