Problem
Developers, analysts, and businesses that need fuel price data often resort to building and maintaining their own web scrapers, which is time-consuming and fragile. Public fuel price information is scattered across hundreds of sources with inconsistent formats, currencies, and update frequencies, making it difficult to obtain clean, comparable data for products, reports, or AI applications.
Solution
PetrolPrice.xyz provides a structured fuel-price data platform that collects, validates, and normalizes petrol and diesel prices from public sources, official announcements, regulators, and open listings across 196 markets. The platform offers a free web dashboard for browsing current prices, historical trends, and market comparisons, while also exposing the same data through a JSON API and an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT query the feed directly. Each data point preserves its market, local currency, publish date, and source context, ensuring transparency and freshness. The platform also includes tools for comparing prices between markets, tracking fuel spending, and estimating tank costs based on vehicle specifications.
Target Audience
Primary users are developers, data analysts, businesses, and AI application builders who need reliable, structured fuel price data for products, reports, or automated workflows, as well as individual consumers comparing fuel costs across markets.
