Actually, you could consider sharing the API, and if you create a communication protocol, people from various countries could contribute as well.
Yes, I have thought about doing this once the data model has settled a bit as the UK feed is still fairly new and there have been some rough edges to it. Some locations in the feed are incomplete, don't report any data or have incorrect location data so it has been fun sorting that out.
I'll have a look into what other countries have canonical fuel price feeds and if there's enough I'll look into how the data model could change to support them

The map aggregates the latest petrol and diesel prices by county, with filters for fuel type and metric. Clicking a county shows the cheapest forecourt, average price, spread, and station count. The feed covers roughly 8,000 UK forecourts and refreshes every 30 minutes. Retailers publish the prices, so there can still be gaps in the data/stations but it's getting better over time.
