Live fuel prices are now on Google Maps ⛽
Since Thursday, searching “petrol station” in Google Maps shows the pump price under nearly every forecourt in the UK, including right across Nottingham.
It is part of the government’s new Fuel Finder scheme. Forecourts now have to report any price change within 30 minutes, and the government reckons comparing before you fill up saves a typical household about £40 a year.
If you're trying to cut your fuel bill, the car matters as much as the forecourt, here's a few handy tips:
🟦 Tyre pressures matter, make sure they're correct, they cost you on fuel
🟦 Empty your boot! Still carrying round that camping gear from summer? It all makes a difference.
🟦 Hit a pothole lately? If the steering pulls to one side your alignment is probably out, and misaligned wheels drag the tyres along rather than roll them. Costs you fuel and tyres.
We're offering free tyre checks at all our branches throughout October. No booking needed, just call in!
