Default Q7 with Diesel - what shows up when searching for "gas stations" on MMI?

When you are searching for a gas station on MMI do the station that show up all have Diesel fuel?

Get the GasBuddy App for your cell phone instead. In addition to being able to program it for gasoline type or diesel, it shows you the price per gallon at each station. It's 1000% better than what's in the MMI.

Not for me, but I haven't put much time into it.

Default Mobile Connect and gas prices

Audi Connect allows you to search for gas prices but it appears to order the search and display in terms of regular gas, which neither the TDI or TFSI versions would use. Does someone know how to change the search to focus either on diesel or Premium? I'm not sure if the original question related to Audi Connect or not but it is the latest technology on the Q7. I am aware of Gas Buddy and it is a good tool but it would be nice to use voice commands and have it fully integrated into the car.

Since the data comes from an online provider (Inrix?), I doubt there's a way to modify it. I recall the way it works now, is you have to select a specific gas station first to see the available grades of gas. Not the most user friendly approach. They just added the parking lot feature so perhaps the gas station section could easily be updated in the future since it's internet app.
