DiannaFan Sophomore Author Utah Posts:176 Points:208,105 Joined:May 2012	Message Posted: Dec 11, 2012 10:42:53 PM Ignore DiannaFan Report Abuse I was trying to update a station with reg, mid and diesel but I missed hitting the tab button and updated as reg/mid/premium. I noticed immediately and put in 0.00 for the price in the premium slot and updated the diesel as I originally intended. What surprised me is that when I looked at my favorite station list on the main page after I made the correction, the bad price was still listed. I was trying to figure out whether it was listed elsewhere but someone else came along and updated all the prices (seemingly correctly) so the bad price went away on its own. Shouldn't the bad price have been removed on the favorites list when I zeroed the price or am I misunderstanding what that does?

Also, decimal points are not needed on the website either. 333 will post as 3.33, in case you didn't know. [Edited by: Zimcity at 12/12/2012 9:43:48 AM EST]

You can not zero out prices using the mobile web site, apps, FSL or Report a Price.
