Google Maps has begun displaying fuel prices for petrol stations amid rising petrol and diesel costs, according to the BBC.
A search for forecourts on the app will now display their pricing, using data from the UK government's Fuel Finder scheme, the BBC reported.
The report did not specify when the feature would be fully rolled out across all regions, or whether it covers stations outside the United Kingdom.
The Fuel Finder scheme was introduced as part of efforts to improve price transparency for drivers amid fluctuating fuel costs. The BBC's report did not include comment from Google or from fuel retailers on the new feature.
