Locate fuel stations near a given location and identify which has the lowest price for petrol or diesel.
Quick answer: Use the Fuel Prices tool through ToolRouter to find the cheapest fuel nearby directly from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw — connect once, then drive it with plain-language prompts. No code required.
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.
Once connected (see setup above), use the Fuel Prices tool:
Ask Claude: "Find the cheapest petrol stations within 5 miles of [postcode or location]"
Claude returns nearby stations with current prices sorted from cheapest
Ask: "Is the saving worth driving to the cheapest option versus the nearest one?"
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
ChatGPT finds the cheapest fuel stations near you and explains the results in practical terms. It tells you exactly how much money you would save, whether the extra journey is worth making, and which stations consistently price competitively — making the decision straightforward rather than leaving you to do the maths.

How to find the cheapest fuel nearby with ChatGPT
Once connected (see setup above), use the Fuel Prices tool:
Ask: "What are the cheapest petrol stations near [location]?"
ChatGPT returns nearby stations with prices and distance
Ask: "Which is the best option given my location and a 50-litre tank?"
Example prompt for ChatGPT
Try this with ChatGPT using the Fuel Prices tool
I need to fill up near Manchester city centre. Find the cheapest petrol stations within 4 miles and tell me how much I would save versus just using the nearest supermarket station. My tank takes 50 litres.
Tips for ChatGPT
Mention your tank size so ChatGPT can calculate the actual money saved, not just the pence-per-litre difference
Ask for supermarket stations specifically — they are often the cheapest but not always the nearest
Ask whether the price difference justifies the detour based on current prices and your location
Copilot retrieves nearby fuel station and price data in structured formats for route planning tools, fleet management systems, or logistics applications. Pull stations with coordinates, fuel types, and current prices as typed data to build fuel stop optimisation features into your application.
