Heavenly prices: fuel will be cheaper before the summer holidays!
Gasoline prices in Germany fell during the summer holidays, which is a positive development for travelers. As the FAZ reported, the price for Super E10 fell on average by 1.8 cents to 1.669 euros per liter. The price of diesel also fell by 1.1 cents to 1.617 euros per liter. This is contrary to previous years where prices often rose when the summer holidays began.
The context of the current prices is particularly interesting: they have decreased significantly compared to the previous year. The diesel price is 4.4% and the price for Super E10 is 4.8% below the 2024 level. In July of the previous year, Super E10 cost 1,759 euros per liter, and diesel was 1,643 euros per liter.
Market development and price analysis
The highest gasoline price was reached on June 24, after an Israeli attack on Iran drove up global oil prices by 12%. Despite these short-term price increases, an ADAC spokesman reports that the price increases at the start of the holidays were less dramatic than in the past. However, prices at motorway gas stations are still higher: on average, Super E10 costs 43.7 cents more there than in gas stations off the motorway, while diesel is on average 42.5 cents more expensive at motorway gas stations.
The decline in crude oil prices, which fell to around $68 from $85 a barrel a year ago, has also contributed to lower fuel prices. The reasons for this are a weak global economy, US tariffs and increased production from oil states. Despite a theoretical price increase due to the increased CO2 price, which was raised from 45 to 55 euros per ton, consumption prices have fallen.
Price saving tips for drivers
The ADAC recommends that drivers fill up in the evening before their journey to save an average of 13 cents per liter. In addition, price-conscious drivers should consider getting off the highway, as they can save up to 40 cents per liter.
In addition, the ADAC offers a fuel price search that shows real-time prices at gas stations in Germany. Users can set the radius to search for gas stations and get information about different fuel types such as Super E10, Super, Diesel and Natural Gas/CNG. However, there are occasional technical problems due to high demand, which the ADAC is currently working on. It is recommended to enable location search to get up-to-date information.
Overall, the developments mentioned show that drivers will benefit from cheaper prices this year, which will make travel planning for the summer holidays easier.
