This morning posting older times on the gas price map replaced the newer price entry. Previously the newest price entry was always maintained.

I only checked map entry so I don't know if it is a problem for other submissions.

I've just seen it again. Post an earlier time on the map and it replaces a more recent post.

This is an oldie, but I have seen it happen occasionally in the last few days.

I've noticed a similar replacement.

price 1 is shown as posted 10 hours ago.
check price 1 hour later and the replacement price is shown as posted 15 hours ago.
What's with this???

The only logical explanation I can think of is a senior GBer (it's usually a GBer with more points than the original poster) zeroing out the price and then posting their price.
If the older posted price is correct then it's OK by me. But every once in awhile the older price is incorrect.

Were the prices posted by GB_Direct, by any chance?
