European fuel prices

[Dom1nion]

We're making our way to Rome (1st to 23rd May) and thought it may be helpful to list some fuel prices as we go.
France: Dunkirk to Straasbourg via A26, varies from 2.09 to 2.39 euros/L
Germany: Kehl to Lindau via 33/333 varies from 1.98 to 2.29
Austria: 1.94/L just over the German/Austrian border and generally lower than Germany or France.
Italy to follow.

Always good to hear first hand reports, but this might be useful too:

Good to know. Thanks. We are heading to Germany today, via Holland.
Pricing in Germany looks broadly similar to UK, so unless diesel is a lot cheaper in Holland I'll wait until we get close to our destination to fill up for the return journey.

Diesel is currently 1.912 Euro per litre in Luxembourg. Not so much of a difference as it used to be, so not really worth a major detour, but if you’re passing through, take the opportunity to fill up! Same price everywhere, including motorway services.

€2.05 a litre Aral Frieburg yesterday morning

Yup, skip diesel in Netherlands! Germany last week for us was €2.08/litre

 

[brcas64]

2.06 chf in Lauterbrunnen today. £1.88

 

[Dizzy]

Paid 1.56 south of Tarragona..

 

[Blackbrogue1962]

€1.46 per litre in Santander last eek.

 

[mr pg]

The Netherlands varies greatly and is expensive. Just back today. Saw diesel ranging from E2.24 to E2.58!

 

[Dom1nion]

Italy from Bolzano to Sirmione, varies from 1.99 to 2.10 euros/l, with a coiuple of service areas at 2.39.
p.s. anyone fancying a lovely mountain road with switchbacks galore, try the Jaufen pass. Although we went to have lunch at a cafe / restaurant , just below the peak; Jaufen Alm - Malga Giovo
(Google maps showed it temporarily closed when I checked in Feb for trip planning, and assumed that would be for the winter period, but it looks like it's closed for good), so if you're going Austria to Italy via this route, stop at Edelweiss restaurant at the peak.

 

[Maidment_Ocean]

Just paid €1.93 in Luxembourg.

 

[Fishface]

Some (not all) Total Energy sites in France ( including motorway ones) are selling at 2.09 Euros per litre which was the cheapest we found as we travelled down France. The queues though longer.

Up near Stelvio, after going up the Stelvio Pass and on a bit, is a tax free area, I remember we filled up there 10 or so years ago, maybe Bolzano (?)

I think they must have a very aggressive pricing policy, they were also the cheapest in Germany

 

[Rololux]

Just paid €1.93 in Luxembourg.

Yes, it went up to 1.934 on Tuesday, but will go down to 1.837 tomorrow. Government controlled, linked to the wholesale price of oil, which fell several % today. I’ll be filling up tomorrow in case it goes up again!!!!

Two Tax reduced areas around here (thanks, Napoleon..), Livigno and I think Samnaun.

Google AI:
As of May 4-5, 2026, fuel prices in duty-free Livigno are significantly lower than the Italian national average, with Unleaded 95 ranging from approximately €1.419 to €1.538 per liter and Diesel from €1.549 to €1.625 per liter. Prices vary slightly between stations (such as Q8 and Ip).

As of early May 2026, duty-free fuel in Samnaun is approximately 1.33–1.38 CHF per liter for petrol (Super 95) and 1.46–1.51 CHF per liter for diesel. These prices are available at local stations like Hangl Mobility Center and Socar, generally lower than surrounding Swiss or Austrian prices. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

It was Livigno I was thinking of - thankyou for the info and the reminder of the place name

Reminds me of our ski trips years ago. Both Livigno and Sauze D'Oulx were tax free, similar to Andorra.

 

[Maidment_Ocean]

Just paid €1.93 in Luxembourg.

Just passed the same station leaving and it had gone down 10 cents overnight!!

 

[KevH]

€2.186 for standard gasoil in Brittany today. No queues but noticeable that some stations have no gasoil.

We are just north of Bolzano now. Sitting in Gargazzone. Heading to Venice tomorrow.

 

[brcas64]

1.98 in Lake Garda yesterday morning

 

[Dom1nion]

1.95 in Maranello and then varying up and down but mostly below 2.00 to Riccione and then down to Rome.

For anyone travelling in Slovakia or Hungary, be aware that there is currently a c.20% tourist tax uplift on diesel prices. It is not the price advertised on the sign but 20% extra, they monitor it via number plate recognition.
