Heavenly prices: fuel is cheaper before the summer vacation!

Petrol prices in Germany have fallen during the summer vacation, which is a positive development for travelers. As the FAZ , the price for Super E10 has dropped by 1.8 cents at 1,669 euros per liter. The diesel price also recorded a decline from 1.1 cents to 1.617 euros per liter. Contrary to earlier years, this is often when the prices rose when the summer vacation started.

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 4.8% below the level of 2024. In July of the previous year, Super E10 still cost 1.759 euros per liter, and diesel was at 1.643 euros per liter.

market development and price analysis

The highest petrol price was reached on June 24 after an attack of Israel on Iran drove the global oil price by 12%. Despite these short-term price increases, an ADAC spokesman reports that the price increases at the beginning of the holidays were less dramatic than in the past. However, the prices are still higher at motorway stamps: On average, Super E10 costs 43.7 cents more than in petrol stations off the highway, while Diesel at motorway stamps is an average of 42.5 cents more expensive.

The decline in the crude oil price, which fell from $ 85 per barrel a year ago to around $ 68, also contributed to the lower fuel prices. The reasons for this are a weak global economy, US tariffs and increased funding from oil states. Despite a theoretical price increase due to the increased CO2 price, which was raised from 45 to 55 euros per ton, the consumption prices have dropped.

price-saving tips for drivers

For drivers, the ADAC recommends recharging them in the evening before the trip to save an average of 13 cents per liter. In addition, price -conscious drivers should be considered to drive 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 petrol stations in Germany. Users can set the radius for searching for petrol stations and receive information about various types of fuel such as Super E10, great, diesel and natural gas/CNG. However, there are every now and then technical problems due to high demand on which the ADAC is currently working. It is recommended to activate the location search to receive current information.

Overall, the developments mentioned show that drivers benefit from cheaper prices this year, which makes travel planning easier for the summer vacation.
