Information for drivers 

This guidance explains how our scheme will make it easier for drivers to find and compare up-to-date fuel prices in a selected area.

The UK government will be launching the statutory Fuel Finder scheme, implementing the key recommendation from our market study intended to help motorists find the cheapest fuel and incentivise retailers to price road fuel more competitively.

The government expects motorists to start benefiting from Fuel Finder – mainly through access to near real-time pricing data via price comparison websites, apps and vehicle satellite navigation systems (satnavs) signed up to the scheme – during 2026.
