Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) issued an open letter on 2 April 2026 reminding road fuel retailers that they must register with the Fuel Finder open‑data scheme and submit price updates within 30 minutes of any change. The letter comes amid increased monitoring of petrol and diesel prices following the conflict in the Middle East. From 1 May 2026, the CMA will exercise enforcement powers and prioritize action against non‑compliance with Fuel Finder if evidence suggests formal action is warranted. Retailers who fail to register or submit timely updates risk regulatory scrutiny and potential penalties. The CMA urges retailers to ensure compliance to maintain market fairness and consumer confidence.
