Live fuel prices across France and the UK, right on the map. Find the cheapest near you and save your favourites. Free, no ads, no tracking.
Petrol Patrol shows you live fuel prices from petrol stations across France and the United Kingdom, right on the map.
Powered by official French and UK government data updated throughout the day, combined with OpenStreetMap station data, Petrol Patrol helps you find the cheapest fuel near you — on both sides of the Channel.
In France, compare E10, SP95, SP98, E85 and Gazole. In the UK, compare Unleaded, Super, Diesel and more — with prices in the local currency and distances in the right units for where you are.

- Live prices — up-to-date fuel prices from thousands of stations, refreshed throughout the day
- Interactive map — see stations around you as you explore, with prices displayed directly on the map
- Motorway indicator — stations on the motorway are clearly marked so you know to expect higher prices
- Station details — opening hours, available services and all fuel prices at a glance
- Find cheapest — locate the cheapest fuel within 5, 10, 25 or 50 km of your location
- Cross-Channel favourites — save your regular stations in both countries and compare their prices to the local average, each shown in the right currency
- All fuel types — switch instantly between fuel types with a single tap

more - A new Weekly trend row in the panel shows whether your fuel has got more or less expensive over the past week, whenever you want to check

- Crossing the Channel keeps you on the same fuel — Gazole becomes Diesel — rather than resetting to the default
3.9 Sep 25
Fuel prices and shortage reports now refresh far more often, as some stations struggle to meet demand — so what you see is closer to what's actually at the pump.
Stations reporting a shortage appear in orange, with the grade affected and when it was reported
3.8 Sep 20
- Fixed a station showing the wrong price and colour after switching back to a fuel it has run out of
With shortages affecting parts of France, a reminder of two features that can help:
- Stations reporting a shortage are flagged in orange, showing which grade is affected and when it was reported
- Turn on equivalent grades in the fuel picker to also see stations selling a grade your car can use — only 12% of French stations sell both E10 and SP95
3.7 Sep 17
- A new pill on the map tells you whether prices have risen or fallen over the past week, so you know whether to fill up now or wait. It appears once a day and takes itself away after a few seconds
- Trends are worked out from a rolling national price history for each grade, in both France and the UK
3.6 Sep 14
- In France, stations reporting a fuel shortage are now flagged, showing which grade is affected and when it was reported — useful during strikes and supply squeezes
- Stations that don't sell your grade no longer disappear from the map. They show in grey, so you can still check their opening hours, facilities and other fuels
- New option to include equivalent unleaded grades. Only 12% of French stations sell both E10 and SP95, so if your car takes E10 you can now see nearly the whole network instead of three quarters of it
- While driving in France, CarPlay can now show stations in the direction you're heading rather than simply the nearest ones
3.5 Sep 7
- In France, you can now include equivalent unleaded grades in your search. Only 12% of French stations sell both E10 and SP95, so if your car takes E10 you can now see nearly the whole network instead of three quarters of it
- CarPlay can now show stations ahead of you in the direction you're driving, not just nearby
- Fixed tapping a station opening the wrong one when two price labels overlap
- Fixed the map appearing empty after unlocking your phone
- Added missing facility labels at UK stations
3.4 Sep 3
Bug fixes.
- Find Cheapest now picks the nearest station when several share the lowest price — useful when a chain caps its prices
- Fixed Find Cheapest sometimes reporting no price data even though stations were showing on the map, and it's now much faster
- Sheets now sit correctly at the bottom of the screen on iPad
3.3 Aug 28
Small improvements and fixes.
- Long-press the app icon to jump straight to your favourites or the cheapest fuel nearby
- A clear indicator when you're offline, and prices reload automatically once you're back
- Fixed your location not updating after travelling, which could leave the map and widget showing distances from where you'd been earlier
- Better contrast in dark mode on the filter and cheapest screens
- Ready for iOS 27
3.2 Aug 28
A cleaner map and a simpler way to get around.
- All controls now live in one panel at the bottom of the map — slide it up for more, down for the map
- Search by postcode without leaving the map
- The fuel button always shows which grade prices are for
- Favourite stations now carry a gold star on the map
- CarPlay keeps up as you drive, updating nearby stations far more often
Upgrading? A short guided tour will show you where everything moved.

What's New in Version 3.0

Live prices for petrol stations across the UK, updated throughout the day. Search by postcode, browse the map, and see who's cheapest near you — the same experience you already know, now on both sides of the Channel.
