How do I go about adding new gas stations to my area?

Also, the point system to win gas cards, do these roll over to the next week if you don't use them? I am just trying to determine my best chance's of winning some day, fairly.

Absolutely correct bytebug. I just tested it. The system took the price but didn't post it to the price board. That is a huge improvement!

When adding stations to the MSL, pay attention to how other stations are listed so when you add the new station it is consistent with your area.

>> You can, btw, report prices for a station even if it's not in the MSL

That no longer appears to be the case.

Before adding a new gas station through the MSL, check to see if maybe it's already in there and you're just not finding it, perhaps because of a disagreement about which side of a city boundary it's on. (You can, btw, report prices for a station even if it's not in the MSL; also, a station might be in the MSL but not have any current prices posted for it.)

To add a station, click on the Gas Prices tab and the Master Station List sub-tab.

Points not redeemed for tickets do roll over, so you can hoard a bunch of tickets if you want. Probably doesn't affect the ability to win that much.
