Google Maps adds UK fuel prices as petrol and diesel costs soar

Google Maps now displays petrol and diesel prices at UK forecourts using data from the government's Fuel Finder scheme. Prices must be updated within 30 minutes of a change, and Google will only show a price when it has high confidence in its accuracy.

• Fuel prices at UK forecourts appeared in Google Maps on Thursday
• Forecourts must report prices to Fuel Finder within 30 minutes
• Diesel topped £2 per litre for the first time; a 55-litre tank costs about £110
• Google Maps is used by 77% of UK adults for navigation
