I was on vacation in Arizona and I couldn't figure out how to change my home location to where I was on Arizona time for reporting purposes. Does anyone know how to switch your home.location? Thanks for any help.

(The short answer, already given, is "ask a moderator to do it for you". I believe the best way to do that is through the PM system, by clicking the envelope icon at the top right of any GasBuddy page.)

lrwcummins Rookie Author North Carolina Posts:6 Points:659,425 Joined:Nov 2010	Message Posted: May 8, 2012 10:14:20 AM Ignore lrwcummins Report Abuse The only reason I was asking was because I am in the military and I am getting out soon to head back to my home state and was seeing if it was a simple change on my part. But thanks for your reply Plastic.

You can log onto any site using your current username and password and report prices. plastic - You can report prices anywhere in the US, from any site in the US by using the map.

You would not change the location for a short duration such as a vacation. What you should have done was sign in to the local Arizona gasprices site. That way you would be in the correct time and you could post the local prices. So, how were you posting prices through the North Carolina site while you were in Arizona?
