Now Google Maps can help motorists in Europe save fuel


Google Maps will be able to show users in Europe the difference in time and fuel consumed between the two routes. — AFP Relaxnews

In Europe, Google is launching a new feature in Maps that shows users the most fuel-efficient route, whether driving a diesel, gasoline, hybrid or electric car. Note that these more eco-friendly routes aren't always the fastest.

In the aim of encouraging more eco-friendly driving, Google Maps will now show the most fuel-efficient route for different engine types (gasoline, diesel, hybrid or electric), in cases when this is not the fastest option. In such cases, the application will show the difference in time and fuel consumption between the two routes, allowing users to choose the most suitable option.
