The android app already has voice input. The way it is implemented, it is actually more distracting and dangerous.

I also suggest voice input on the mobile device to make it safer while driving.

I assume it's a feature of the browser rather than of GasBuddy -- ESC in an input field filling it in with its previous value, or something like that. I don't know what combinations of browser & OS would do it; I've been using it for some time in Firefox on GNU/Linux.

musicreporter - If you are using Firefox, bring up the price balloon for the station you are trying to report, click on the regular price (it should go blank), hit ESC (it should fill in with the previous price) click on the mid-grade price (it should go blank), hit the ESC key (it should fill in with the previous price), repeat as necessary for more grades of fuel.
I believe with explorer you may have to replace ESC with ESC ESC in the above process.

I tried the ESC and ESC ESC but it did not work.
I use a standard PC with Windows XP on it.
Might there be another hot key?

If you use the map view on the main site, then after clicking on a price to open an input field, you can hit ESC or ESC ESC (depending on browser and/or OS) to have it be filled in with the previous price.

This suggestion has been added to the Suggestion Tracking List as a new topic on an existing subject.
To show one possibility, this previous sterling suggestion included a link to this even sterlinger graphic.

Not sure the auto update is needed, but what I think is needed is a stand price update screen. Right now there are a number of different update/input screens. One standard screen would be less confusing and much easier for the site to maintain and upgrade.

As anyone that has followed the discussions on false price posting, and posting for points and/or awards, can tell you, while a "click and confirm previous posted price" might make drive-by posting faster, it would also make it easier to post prices for stations you don't really know about.
But if you're asking asking for a more responsible price posting "shortcut", GoGoGoodyear already provided it. You can simply click on the price that's in the "right side boxes" that you know are current/accurate. Or you can, obviously, click on all the prices in the right boxes (such as mid-grade and/or diesel) that you didn't actually confirm.

Musicreporter, you can get the same effect if you go to the mobile version of the website with your browser on any computer. After locating the station to report prices, the previous prices will be on the right side of the screen and you can click on each price to automatically enter it without typing any numbers.
For the mobile site just add the letter M + a period in front of any Gas Buddy site name, for example m.sanantoniogasprices.com
