Who is the station manager workspace for?
It is built for independent petrol stations, forecourt managers and smaller site groups that want to compare their local market, manage their team and keep pump prices current. Larger chains are welcome too.
Do I need GOV.UK credentials to use the workspace?
You can use the local market, history, outlook and team tools once your site access is approved. Official price reporting also needs valid GOV.UK Fuel Finder credentials and verified site mappings. Receipts distinguish official acceptance, the Fuel Finder update and later confirmation from the official feed.
Which fuel grades can I submit?
You can submit the live pump prices you hold for petrol, diesel, premium grades and supported specialist fuels, all from your station workspace.
How does my forecourt get access?
Find your station, request access and complete verification. Then set up your team and competitor watches. Connect your trader organisation's GOV.UK credentials and verify your site mappings when you are ready for official price reporting.
Can I manage more than one forecourt?
Yes. Bring approved sites into one organisation and give your colleagues access to all sites or selected sites. Administrators, editors and viewers have different permissions.
Will a planned price change be sent automatically?
No. A plan records an intended change. An authorised colleague confirms that the pump price has actually changed, with its effective time, before it is submitted.
How should I use the market outlook?
Use it alongside your local market. Forecasts show coverage, freshness and evidence quality, and can be unavailable when there is insufficient evidence. Brent and exchange-rate context help explain broader movements; they are not a wholesale quote or a prediction of your own costs.
Where do competitor prices come from?
Comparisons use Fuel Finder's reported station-price data, with the grade, distance and freshness shown. A local average needs enough eligible sites, and incomplete price history is identified.
Is the station manager workspace free?
Yes. The workspace, local market comparisons, history, outlook, team access, alerts and price reporting are free for approved forecourts. No paid subscription is required.
