Google has rolled out a small update (http://searchengineland.com/google-maps-adds-fuel-calculator-in-uk-directions-62223) to its Google Maps service, providing a cost (http://thenextweb.com/uk/2011/01/24/google-maps-now-has-a-uk-fuel-cost-calculator/#) calculator for journeys planned using the popular mapping service.
The new option appears to be specific to UK users at the moment but works by automatically finding the local fuel (http://thenextweb.com/uk/2011/01/24/google-maps-now-has-a-uk-fuel-cost-calculator/#)for the area, allowing you to specify what type of car you have also. There is also an option to specify the fuel type of your car for a more specific cost breakdown.
To utilise the calculator, specify directions between your location and your destination, scroll to the bottom and click the “Est. Fuel Cost” link at the bottom.
