We’ve integrated the government’s new Fuel Finder API to bring you fuel prices from across the UK. Here’s where we’re at.
What’s Happening
The Fuel Finder API is experiencing intermittent connectivity issues. When the connection is available, we’re pulling and updating prices — but it’s not as reliable as we’d like right now.
As a workaround, we’re also working on importing the CSV file the government provides as a backup data source.
Filling the Gaps
Not all stations in the Fuel Finder database are reporting prices yet. For those stations, we’re using our retailer feeds to fill in the blanks:
- Ascona Group
- Asda
- BP
- Esso Tesco Alliance
- JET Retail UK
- Karan Retail Ltd
- Morrisons
- Moto
- Motor Fuel Group
- Rontec
- Sainsbury’s
- SGN
- Shell
- Tesco
This means you’re still getting prices for stations that haven’t submitted to the scheme, mapped against the official Fuel Finder station data.
What’s Next
We’re monitoring the API and updating prices whenever connectivity allows. Once the government’s system stabilises, you’ll see more consistent updates across all stations.
Thanks for bearing with us while we work through the teething issues of this new scheme.
