Frequently asked questions

How do I plan a UK road trip with the cheapest fuel stops?

Enter your start and destination postcodes or addresses, choose petrol or diesel, and Fuelsave maps the driving route and shows live-priced stations along the way. Select the stops you want — the tool calculates detour distance and estimated cost so you can choose the cheapest option before you leave.

Can I plan an EV road trip with charging stops in the UK?

Yes. Switch to EV mode, enter your battery capacity, starting charge percentage and target arrival charge, and Fuelsave shows rapid and fast chargers within range for each leg. Stops beyond your range are flagged so you can see exactly where you need to charge.

How accurate are the fuel prices on the journey planner?

Fuel prices come from the UK government's mandatory fuel price transparency scheme, which requires retailers to publish forecourt prices within 30 minutes of any change. Fuelsave syncs this feed hourly, so prices shown are at most around 60 minutes old.

Is the Fuelsave journey planner free to use?

Yes, the journey planner is completely free with no sign-up or account required. EV charger data is sourced from the Open Charge Map community database.

Can I share a planned UK road trip with someone else?

Yes. Once you have planned a route and selected your stops, the trip generates a shareable URL. Anyone who opens the link sees the same route, selected fuel or charging stops and cost estimate.

How does fuel cost estimation work?

Enter your vehicle's fuel efficiency in miles per gallon and the planner uses the live price at your chosen stop to estimate total fuel spend for the journey, broken down per leg.
