谷歌地图从本周四起在英国推出实时油价显示功能，覆盖该国99%的加油站。1 该功能利用政府燃料查询平台的数据，旨在提高油价透明度、鼓励零售商之间的竞争，并帮助驾驶者找到最便宜的燃油。1
此举得到业界广泛支持。英国汽车协会主席埃德蒙·金表示"将透明的油价显示在谷歌地图上是重大进展"。1 能源消费者部长波莉·比林顿称该功能是"改变游戏规则的举措"。1 竞争市场局曾在2023年建议推出此类措施。1
政府燃料查询平台于2月推出，已通过Waze、PetrolPrices、AA、Confused.com和RAC Fuel Watch等多个应用提供数据服务。1 此前英国柴油平均价格已达到每升2英镑的纪录，自2月下旬以来涨幅超过40%。1
Google Maps has launched a real-time fuel price display feature across the United Kingdom starting Thursday, drawing data from the government's fuel query platform to show pricing information for 99% of petrol stations in the country.1 The initiative aims to enhance price transparency, encourage competition among retailers, and help drivers locate the cheapest available fuel.1
The move comes as diesel prices have recently reached a record high of £2 per litre, representing an increase of more than 40% since late February.1 The government fuel query platform, which was initially introduced in February, now powers fuel price information across multiple applications including Waze, PetrolPrices, AA, Confused.com, and RAC Fuel Watch.1 The Competition and Markets Authority had recommended the implementation of such a measure in 2023.1
Officials and industry representatives have welcomed the development. Edmund King, president of the UK Automobile Association, described placing transparent fuel prices on Google Maps as "a significant step forward,"1 while the Minister for Energy Consumers, Polly Billington, characterized the feature as "a game-changing initiative."1
