## About

fuel-prices.eu is an independent fuel-price monitoring service operating since 2005.
The France live map shows current prices for diesel (gazole), E10, SP95, SP98, E85
(superéthanol) and LPG (GPL) at public stations across the country.

## Per-station pages

Each public station has its own page at /live/france/station/{slug}-{id}, where {id} is the
station id (the slug is cosmetic). Add ?lang=en or ?lang=fr to force a language. Each page shows:

- all currently reported fuel prices at that station, each flagged cheaper / pricier / at the
  local-area average;
- a sortable, mobile-friendly comparison table of every station within 5 km, with all reported
  fuels — sortable by distance (nearest) or by the cheapest price for a chosen fuel;
- an embedded map of the station and its neighbours;
- a 12-month price-history chart (per fuel) once changes have been recorded.

Structured data: each page emits schema.org GasStation (with current fuel prices as Offers) and
a BreadcrumbList, plus hreflang en/fr alternates.

## Data source

- Source: Prix-Carburants — French Ministry of the Economy (Ministère de l'Économie).
- Source portal: https://www.prix-carburants.gouv.fr/
- License: Etalab Open License (https://www.etalab.gouv.fr/licence-ouverte-open-licence/).
- Station operators in France are legally required to report their prices, making
  this the most comprehensive and reliable source of French fuel prices.

## Update frequency

- Prices are published at source every ~10 minutes.
- fuel-prices.eu refreshes the dataset multiple times per day; displayed prices are
  typically less than a few hours old. Stale prices (older than 7 days) are excluded.

## Best Deal calculator (Near Me)

The "Near Me" tool ranks stations in a chosen radius not by sticker price alone but by
the real total cost of a refuel:

    cost_total = (tank_liters x price_per_liter)
               + (distance_km x 2 x consumption_l_per_100km / 100 x price_per_liter)
    score      = (min_cost_in_range / current_cost) x 100   (100 = best real value)

Defaults: tank 60 L, average consumption 7.0 L/100 km (both user-adjustable). This
means a slightly pricier station that is much closer can beat a cheap but distant one.

## Fuel types (codes used by the API)

- diesel — Gazole (standard diesel)
- e10 — SP95-E10
- sp95 — Sans Plomb 95
- sp98 — Sans Plomb 98
- e85 — Superéthanol E85
