Estimated fuel cost is missing. #109

Hi, just discovered this.. it is pretty awesome.. I almost completely lost all hope for any kind of classic google maps until this, but one feature I miss is estimated fuel cost. It used to be at the bottom of direction list when searching for direction from point A to B. It said below all the direction instructions something like this journey would cost you about £7.20 or something like that. If you could add this that would be great :-)

Do you know where would get fuel prices? That seems the difficult bit how to get the cost per mile value.

I check fuel prices here: https://www.petrolprices.com/ they show prices for UK (not sure about other countries).

I also (have to) use nowadays separate sites like http://www.fuel-economy.co.uk/calc.html to calculate the cost of my journey based on the km/miles from google maps.. you can specify lots of details like fuel cost, consumption etc... but the feature on google maps does not have to be super precise.. just an average estimate of the cost for some average value/consumtion..
