This is strange. On the 1,100-mile trip home with my new 2022 2500, I had the chance to check out the new Uconnect version 5. There are lots of good things to say over the Uconnect that was in my 2013 1500, which I did keep current with the manual updates. All those differences are topics for another thread. This is about diesel price info.
I was amazed when I picked the "gas station" option with the Nav showing my route home. It displayed gas stations along my route, with the diesel prices shown. That was really slick, I thought - it knows exactly the fuel it needs. This, along with the range info, helped me plan my first fuel stop. The price info was spot on. Along the drive home, I compared the accuracy to the price signs along the way & it was always correct. I had never realized before how much more diesel prices are at the truck stops, always seemed to be at least 50 to 60 cents per gallon as compared to any "gas station" nearby.
Things changed after I got home. I didn't make any changes to the settings, other than selecting my home wi-fi network for the OTA updates. Now, I have no diesel pricing at all, and can't get the Nav to display any diesel information whatsoever. There is no option for choosing "diesel" in the "fuel price" selection under the POI choices in the Nav settings. The system defaulted to "regular" and the options are only "regular," "mid-grade" or "premium." This is very strange to me and I can't figure out what happened. Having diesel price is a great feature - I don't care very much about the gasoline prices when looking for diesel.
Maybe RamCares can shed some light on this issue. I'd really like to get the diesel prices to show again as they did on my way home. What great info to have while traveling.
