This winter, use Google Maps and Waze to find the best fuel prices in the UK.

The UK Government has partnered with Google Maps and Waze to introduce a new feature called Fuel Finder, which displays live fuel prices at nearby petrol and diesel stations. This tool aims to help motorists reduce costs by identifying the most affordable options before refuelling. The feature is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing navigation apps, providing updates without requiring additional downloads. Drivers can now make more informed decisions about where to refuel during their daily commutes or longer trips.

Fuel Finder aggregates price data from participating UK fuel stations, offering real-time comparisons of petrol and diesel costs. The feature is available directly within Google Maps and Waze, ensuring users can access pricing information without leaving the app. This initiative responds to rising living costs by providing a practical way to manage expenses. The UK Waze community has also contributed to the development and testing of the feature.

To use Fuel Finder, motorists simply open Google Maps or Waze and search for nearby fuel stations. The app will display a list of stations along with their current fuel prices, sorted by affordability. This allows users to quickly identify the cheapest options without visiting multiple forecourts. The feature is now live across the UK and accessible to all users of the apps.

The launch of Fuel Finder follows a collaboration between Google, the UK Government, and the Waze community to address financial pressures on drivers. By providing transparent pricing, the tool empowers users to save money on fuel costs while maintaining convenience. The feature is part of broader efforts to support cost-of-living challenges faced by UK residents.
