We Show the Price at Every Gas Station in 18 Countries — Right on the Map

You're rolling up to an interchange on your last quarter tank, and there are three stations from different chains within a kilometer. Which one to pull into is anyone's guess: the country average doesn't answer that question, and there's no time to check each sign one by one. That's exactly the gap we've closed for 18 countries.

From the country average to the specific pump

Before, a country page had one number for petrol and one for diesel. Now, for these 18 countries, every station shows up on the map as a dot: tap it — and a popup gives you the price right there, for petrol, diesel, and LPG where they exist. The data comes from official sources — government open-data portals or the chains' own systems directly, not driver reviews or guesswork. Prices straight from drivers are still our dream, and we're working toward it; but we decided to start with what you can rely on right away.

Price slider and fuel type right on the map

Open the map and in the "Map content" panel turn on the "Fuel prices" layer — a price slider and a petrol / diesel / LPG switch appear at the top. Drag the slider down to your budget — and only stations cheaper than that mark stay on the map. You can see at a glance where it's cheaper to fill up around you, instead of opening a dozen chain websites one after another.

Where the price at each station comes from

For each of the 18 countries, the OpenVan.camp Editorial team hooked up its own official source: France's Prix des carburants and Spain's MITECO, Italy's Osservaprezzi and Portugal's DGEG, the UK's CMA fuel finder, Austria's E-Control, Australia's FuelWatch and FuelCheck, Mexico's CRE, Argentina's Secretaría de Energía, and Chile's CNE Bencina en Línea, plus Brazil's ANP and Cyprus's MCIT. These are government open-data portals where stations report their prices themselves. For a few more countries we take prices straight from the primary source another way: in Lithuania via the degalusekimas.lt service, in Romania via peco-online, in Georgia the chains' official data through petrol.com.ge laid over the OpenStreetMap map, and in Russia directly from the APIs of the Rosneft and Tatneft networks themselves. We pull them regularly and update each station by its own identifier, and if a source suddenly stops responding — an alert goes out, and the dots for that country aren't replaced with stale data.

What not to expect

For now it's 18 countries, not the whole world — wherever a government has no open registry of station-level prices, the old country average stays. Within a country, coverage also depends on the source: in some places it's every chain down to the last village, in others it's still the major highways and cities. And this doesn't make petrol any cheaper. It just means that now, rolling up to an interchange with three stations, you already know which one to pull into.
