What the app checksSaving leftafter extra driving, MPG and traffic
Motorway premium

Motorway fuel is convenient. The app checks whether leaving the route pays.

Motorway service fuel often costs more than nearby stations, but the cheaper option only wins if the detour, extra fuel used, traffic and your planned fill still leave a saving.

Compare the premium

Motorway price vs nearby price

Start with the pence-per-litre gap, then multiply it by your planned fill amount to see the possible saving.

Count the exit

Extra miles and time matter

A short junction exit can be worth it. A slow urban diversion can wipe out the headline saving.

Use the app

Check real stations on the journey

Route & Fuel can compare station price, whether the stop is worth the extra drive, detour, MPG and live traffic checks.

Why Route & Fuel helps

Motorway fuel prices are only half the decision.

Motorway fuel can be convenient, but a cheaper off-route station is not automatically the best choice. Route & Fuel is built to compare the price saving against the extra miles, estimated fuel used, journey timing and live traffic checks in the app.

Motorway versus nearby

Use motorway prices as the starting point, then compare nearby alternatives when a detour may pay off.

Live traffic app checks

The app can use TomTom routing data for route and traffic checks, instead of judging purely by station price.

Best for real journeys

A five-minute detour may be fine on one trip and a bad idea on another. The app keeps price, time and route trade-offs visible.
