About Petrol Stations Live

Why?

The UK Government has really made the national Fuel Finder API available to the public. The API provides a feed of pricing data fronm all the petrol stations in the country.

From May 2026, petrol stations are mandated by law so that they must update the Fuel Finder system within 30 minutes of making a price change.

This allows more transparancy for the consumer and allows us to make more informed choices when we are buying fuel.

How?

We've used the Fuel Finder data to provide a searchable database of every petrol station in the UK, with near real-time price updates. There are also Petrol Prices apps for Android & iOS available. I also use the data to calculate the average fuel costs throughout the UK, from national level right down to each town & city.
