Price Discovery
Every day OPIS captures station-specific retail gasoline and diesel prices for up to 130,000 service stations throughout the United States. Through exclusive relationships with credit card companies, direct feeds and other survey methods, OPIS is able to provide the most comprehensive and accurate pump prices in the industry.

The OPIS retail data is relied on by some of the top companies in the country to provide consumers with the most accurate and timely information available including AAA, Microsoft, Mapquest, America Online, Garmin, Verizon, Sprint and many more.

Data Integrity
To ensure accuracy of the retail prices, OPIS scrubs the data through a number of computer programs to make sure the prices are current and are for pump gasoline purchases only – not for in-store purchases that may include non-gasoline products.

OPIS gets prices for most major retailers regardless of whether the station is company operated, jobber owned or dealer operated. Included in the feed are many of the more aggressive c-stores such as WAWA, QuikTrip, Maverik and Sheetz and most of the discount chains and supermarkets such as Wal-Mart, HEB and Kroger.

OPIS has daily, weekly and monthly standard reports as well as customized reports which allow the user to slice and dice the data to get the view of the market they need to make smart decisions. In addition, OPIS has retail history going back as far as 1996 at the station level and can quickly roll the data up to nearly any geographic criteria you desire.

Time Stamp
OPIS is able to capture prices in near real-time – as soon as the swipe happens – at more than 25,000 locations. OPIS Is currently working with the major networks in order to bring you more and more prices as they change and expects a major percentage of the 130,000 stations to be available in real-time by the end of this year.

The stations which currently don’t have the ability to be captured in real-time are updated via a batch file each morning and each price has the actual transaction date of the purchase. The daily feed through the batch process has transactions that are from 1-5 days old with the majority of prices being no older than 3 days.

Hoe hebben jullie GasBuddy app geïnstalleerd gekregen trouwens? Bij mijn telefoon zegt ie dat het alleen voor de US is en ik hem niet kan installeren/downloaden.
