Road fuel price data scheme

Information about the CMA's temporary road fuel price open data scheme.

Introduction

The CMA road fuel market study made 2 recommendations to the UK government to address the weakening of competition it found since 2019. First, a new statutory fuel finder scheme, which would give drivers access to live, station-by-station fuel prices. Second, a new statutory monitoring body to hold the industry to account.

The UK government has accepted both recommendations and indicated it will consult on the legislation in autumn 2023. The UK government asked the CMA to take action on a temporary basis, using our existing powers. This page provides details of CMA work on the interim remedies regarding both pricing data and monitoring.
