Fuel Prices

Fuel prices vary by 10p or more per litre between stations within a few miles of each other. Over thousands of miles a year, that difference matters — but most drivers just fill up at the nearest or most convenient station without knowing whether a slightly less convenient option would save them significantly more.

Fuel Prices finds stations near a postcode or address and returns current prices at each, ranked by price. It covers petrol, diesel, and where available, premium grades. The cheapest_fuel skill identifies the single best option across the results.

Commuters optimising their weekly fill-up, fleet managers routing vehicles through cheaper fuel corridors, and logistics planners managing fuel costs across a delivery network use this to make location decisions informed by actual current prices rather than assumptions.

How to find the cheapest fuel nearby with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw

Claude finds nearby stations and helps you decide where it is worth driving to. It calculates the fuel cost saving between the cheapest and most convenient options, factors in the distance to drive out of your way, and tells you whether the trip makes financial sense given your tank size and the price differential.

How to find the cheapest fuel nearby with Claude

Once connected (see setup above), use the Fuel Prices tool:

  1. Ask Claude: "Find the cheapest petrol stations within 5 miles of [postcode or location]"
  2. Claude returns nearby stations with current prices sorted from cheapest
  3. Ask: "Is the saving worth driving to the cheapest option versus the nearest one?"
  4. Ask: "How much would I save filling a 60-litre tank at the cheapest versus most expensive?"

Example prompt for Claude

Try this with Claude using the Fuel Prices tool
Find the cheapest petrol stations within 3 miles of SW1A 1AA. Show me the top 5 cheapest with current prices and distance. Calculate how much I would save filling a 55-litre tank at the cheapest versus the nearest station.

Tips for Claude

  • Factor in the round-trip distance to a cheaper station — driving 3 miles extra uses roughly 0.3 litres, so the saving needs to exceed that
  • Ask for both petrol and diesel prices at the same time if your vehicle can use either or if you are comparing multiple vehicles
  • Ask Claude to calculate the annual saving if you fill up once a week at the cheapest versus your usual station
