谷歌地图现在将显示燃油价格，以帮助英国司机找到更便宜的汽油和柴油，因为燃油成本持续飙升。
Google Maps will now show fuel prices to help motorists find cheaper petrol and diesel in the UK as costs continue to soar.
从周四开始，在该应用程序中搜索加油站时，除了会显示其位置外，还会显示其价格，这些数据来自政府“燃油查找”计划提供的信息。
From Thursday, a search for forecourts on the app will display their locations as well as their pricing, using data supplied via the government's Fuel Finder scheme.
根据法律规定，英国加油站必须在价格变动后30分钟内将新价格上传至“燃油查找”平台。
It is a legal requirement for UK forecourts to add their prices to Fuel Finder within 30 minutes of changing them.
这一举措是在柴油价格首次突破每升2英镑几天后推出的。英国皇家汽车俱乐部（RAC）政策主管西蒙·威廉姆斯称这一价格“是无人希望跨越的临界点”。
It comes days after the price of diesel topped £2 per litre for the first time which RAC policy head Simon Williams described as "a price threshold no one wanted to cross".
虽然市面上有多款专门用于寻找最便宜燃油的应用程序，但根据英国通信办公室（Ofcom）的数据，谷歌地图在英国成年人口中的通用导航使用率高达77%。
There are multiple apps dedicated to finding the cheapest fuel around, but Google Maps is used by 77% of Britain's adult population for general navigation, according to Ofcom.
全球燃油成本受到美国与伊朗战争以及俄罗斯与乌克兰战争的严重影响。
Fuel costs around the world have been dramatically impacted by the US war with Iran and Russia's war with Ukraine.
此后柴油价格已下跌2便士，但英国汽车协会（AA）表示，平均55升的柴油油箱价格仍约为110英镑，而同等容量的汽油则约为96英镑。
Diesel price has since fallen by 2p but the AA says an average 55 litre tank of diesel still costs around £110, with the petrol equivalent coming to around £96.
这一功能已集成到导航应用Waze中，该应用在英国约有200万用户。
The feature is already part of the navigation app Waze, which is used by around 2 million people in the UK.
苹果地图目前不显示燃油价格，不过一些第三方应用可以在iPhone上与苹果地图进行联动。一些专家认为，“燃油查找”计划并非完全可靠。
Apple Maps does not show the price of fuel, although some third-party apps can link to its maps on iPhones. Some experts say Fuel Finder is not entirely reliable.
价格比较网站PetrolPrices的总监克莱尔·拉弗蒂表示：“目前，我们仍然需要借助其他数据源来补充政府‘燃油查找’平台的数据，因为仅靠它本身，无法提供覆盖范围和准确性，难以为司机提供完整可靠的服务。”
"At the moment, we still have to supplement the Government's Fuel Finder feed with other data sources because, on its own, it does not provide the level of coverage and accuracy needed to deliver a complete and reliable service to motorists," said Clare Lafferty, director at the price comparison site PetrolPrices.
她指出：“仍有一些站点根本没有参与该计划，另一些站点虽然参与了，但并未在规定的时间内持续更新价格。”她还提到，该公司在9月份发现，有200家加油站未能及时更新柴油价格。
"There are still sites that have noted with the scheme at all, alongside sites that haveed but are not consistently updating their prices within the required timeframe." She said the firm identified 200 forecourts in September which it did not believe had updated its diesel prices in time.
谷歌地图和Waze的产品合作总监莎拉-简·威廉姆斯表示，该公司将独立核查数据，并且不会显示其认为已过时的价格。
Sarah-Jayne Williams, director of product partnerships for Google Maps and Waze, said the firm would check the data independently, and would not display prices it believed were not up-to-date.
她说：“准确性非常重要，因此我们仍然会显示加油站及其位置，但只有在我们高度确信价格准确时，才会显示具体价格。”
"Accuracy is very important, so we will still show the petrol station and where it is, but you'll only see a price if we have high confidence that it's the right price," she said.
代表英国数千家加油站和石油零售商的石油零售商协会表示，其成员正在遵守相关规定。
The Petrol Retailers Association, which represents thousands of UK forecourts and petrol retailers, said its members were complying.
“Fuel Finder”由前财政大臣雷切尔·里夫斯于2月推出，她当时表示，该服务每年可为家庭节省40英镑。关注全球顶尖科技新闻与趋势。
Fuel Finder was launched in February by former chancellor Rachel Reeves, who said at the time it could save households £40 per year.
