Helpful advice for motorists prior to the Whitsun holidays - Oftentimes, it's less expensive to refuel overseas.
When embarking on a road trip for the Whitsun holidays, consider whether to drive with a full or empty tank. You might save money by refueling in a neighboring country. For instance, in the Czech Republic, gasoline is 27 cents cheaper and diesel 13 cents cheaper compared to Germany. If you're heading east to Hungary or Slovakia, you'll also find cheaper fuel there: gasoline is 27 and 22 cents less expensive, while diesel is 9 and 13 cents cheaper, respectively.
Going south? Consider refueling in Austria. Gasoline is 22 cents cheaper and diesel roughly 5 cents cheaper compared to Germany. If you're going towards Italy, though, Austria may not be the best choice since Italy's gasoline prices are about 3 cents more expensive, while diesel is approximately 11 cents more.
Conversely, if you're heading to Slovenia or Croatia, it's smarter to keep driving and refuel in those countries instead. Gasoline is 30 cents cheaper in Slovenia and 26 cents cheaper in Croatia compared to Germany. Diesel also costs less: 11 cents in Slovenia and 7 cents in Croatia.
Now, let's look at Baden-Württemberg. According to the EU Commission's fuel price data, refueling in your home country could be the better option. However, drivers to Switzerland should fill up before crossing the border as the Touring Club Switzerland reported that gasoline costs around 2 to 3 cents more there, while diesel is 31 cents more expensive. Drivers in France will also have to spend more: the EU Commission reports that gasoline prices are 5 cents higher, and diesel is 7 cents more.
Note that these price differences are largely based on data from the EU Commission as of May 6. They change slowly compared to real-time fuel prices, which often fluctuate due to various factors like oil price shifts.
Taxes and levies are a significant factor influencing the price differences. Additionally, prices can vary significantly from one gas station to another, depending on the region and time of day. In some countries, highway fuel prices can be significantly higher than those on rural roads.
