Google Maps Adds A Fuel Cost Calculator


Google Maps has added a fuel cost calculator to driving directions on Google Maps in Europe. At the moment the estimated fuel costs seem to only appear in driving directions in Europe and not in the USA, Canada nor Australia.

The fuel cost estimation appears at the bottom of the driving directions in the map sidebar. If you click on the estimation a calculator opens allowing you to adjust the price, the type of vehicle you drive or switch between petrol and diesel.

Would love to see them add the feature to choose a custom MPG. I track my MPG on my smartphone so would be a much better guestimate then!

Hopefully they will update Google Maps on Android to support this feature also! =D
