Google Maps Fuel Prices Offer Minimal Savings

The claim: Google states that users can now find the cheapest petrol and diesel prices in the UK across Google Maps and Waze by searching for local fuel stations to see the latest rates and save money.

The reality: Drivers still have to rely on independent station owners manually uploading pence-per-litre figures, meaning you will likely arrive at a local Tesco to find the advertised pump price is three pence higher than the app claims.

Why should I care? You shouldn't
Crowdsourced fuel data is notoriously stale long before you pull into a suburban forecourt.
