UK government partners with Google to show live fuel prices on Google Maps and Waze

The UK government has partnered with Google to display near-real-time fuel prices on Google Maps and Waze, using data from the government's Fuel Finder scheme. This initiative, announced on October 8, 2026, aims to help drivers find cheaper petrol and diesel, potentially saving households an average of £40 a year. The feature comes as fuel prices reach record highs, with diesel at 200.11p per litre. Around 99% of UK petrol stations now report price changes within 30 minutes, as required by law since February 2026.
