Instacart Inc. is adding a fuel surcharge on grocery delivery orders, becoming the latest gig economy company to impose new fees on customers to ease drivers’ gas bills amid record-high prices.

Instacart will add a temporary surcharge of 40 cents on orders, with 100% of the fee going to couriers, the San Francisco-based company said Friday.
