There are currently approximately 7,400 petrol filling stations (PFSs) registered with Fuel Finder (approximately 90% of UK PFSs). Over 80% of UK PFSs have updated at least one price within the past week.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is responsible for enforcing Fuel Finder, but has confirmed that until at least May 2026, its focus will be on supporting retailers to comply, rather than enforcement.
