Fuel prices clarified — 92, 95, 98 and diesel now listed separately
"Petrol price" is like "food price". Something's been said, but it's unclear what. Country pages now show all available grades with individual prices: from 92 to 98, diesel, LPG.
Six months ago we launched the fuel prices section. It showed one price — a vague "petrol" for the country. Fine for a quick glance, useless for planning: some people run on 98 and its price matters three times more than the average, others drive on LPG and want to know exactly that. We knew this, but only fixed it now.
Each grade — its own price
Country pages now show all grades actually sold there: 92, 95, 98, diesel, LPG — depending on the local market. No point showing 92 in Norway if it doesn't exist there. No point hiding LPG in Poland if a third of stations offer it.
You can switch between grades right on the page — the main price updates instantly. If a country only sells one grade, there won't be extra buttons cluttering things up.
On fuel station maps — status from fellow travellers
On the fuel map you can now tap a specific station and report: open or closed, and submit your own price. Data goes to moderation — it doesn't appear in the feed immediately, but this is the first step toward up-to-date prices at specific stations, not just country-level averages.
How prices are calculated
For each country we pull from two to five sources: official statistics (where available), an industry aggregator, and local fuel chains. Each source is weighted — the closer to the primary source, the higher the weight. According to the OpenVan.camp Editorial team, coverage spans over 100 countries, with one to five sources per grade for each. Prices update weekly; more frequent updates are nearly ready — most fetchers are already configured.
What not to expect
Not all countries have equal coverage: some only have diesel and one type of petrol, others have the full range. If data is thin — we show that, rather than hiding it behind a pretty number. This doesn't make fuel cheaper. But now you know exactly what you'll pay for the grade you actually drive on.
