I don’t care about perks or rewards, I just want a free and open license database that enables me to find and contribute gas prices in my area without spying on me. I’ve searched AlternativeTo.net, but nothing open source comes up. Thanks!

I’m not following. I understand how Gas Buddy works (crowd sourced data entry), but how does that preclude free and open source software? For example, look at OpenStreetMap, open license database w/ a whole ecosystem of free and open source apps built around it.
Imagine if you had to recreate OSM every hour. Because that’s how often gas prices change.
Do you object to the need to get the new prices manually or just the data processing involved? Because other than osm it’s very little data.
Getting the data would be harder since people would need to participate like on GasBuddy. Maybe some scraping?
