Frequently
asked questions

Everything about prices, routing and how the tool works. Still stuck? The AI assistant in the Fuel Map can answer too.

Forecourt prices are refreshed every three hours from the UK Government fuel open-data scheme, so the cheapest sites near you reflect today’s pumps - not last week’s.

We take the mean of unleaded and diesel across thousands of forecourts nationwide, recomputed on every ingest. The regional figures use the same method scoped to each nation and region.

Yes. Journey planning, mileage and expense calculations are free, and Smart Routes multi-stop optimisation is free for up to 5 stops - Plus raises that to 20 and Business to 100. Mapping is built on OpenStreetMap with open routing - no account required.

It reads your planned route, your vehicle’s real-world MPG and live forecourt prices, then tells you exactly where to fill up and how much you’ll save versus filling at the average - in pounds, for your actual trip.

Absolutely. The mileage calculator supports HMRC approved mileage rates for reimbursement, and fleet operators can layer telematics for live vehicle MPG and routing.
