The cheapest city stations sit noticeably below that average, so where and when you refuel makes a real difference. These figures are approximate and change continuously, so always check the live price before you drive. ## Diesel price in Germany right now According to the latest weekly bulletin (dated 2026-07-06) for [Germany](https://nakordoni.eu/en/country/germany), the country-wide average is **€1.927/l** for diesel and **€2.057/l** for petrol 95, both approximate. Over the past month diesel rose by about +€0.057/l (roughly +3%), while petrol 95 climbed by around +€0.114/l. These are national averages, pulled higher by expensive motorway stations. A driver who avoids the Autobahn pumps and fills up in town can realistically pay several cents less than the national average — the exact saving varies from city to city. ## Cheapest diesel by city Here are the cheapest live pump prices our search found near each major city, ranked with the cheapest diesel first. | # | City | Diesel from €/l | Petrol 95 from €/l | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | [**Berlin**](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel_germany/berlin) | **€1.649** | €1.749 | | 2 | [**Munich**](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel_germany/munich) | **€1.658** | €1.669 | | 3 | [**Frankfurt**](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel_germany/frankfurt) | **€1.658** | €1.779 | | 4 | [**Cologne**](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel_germany/koln) | **€1.659** | €1.769 | | 5 | [**Hamburg**](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel_germany/hamburg) | **€1.829** | €1.849 | Note: these are the cheapest live pump prices near each city (not the average); the live [German fuel prices page](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel_germany) shows current numbers and a map per city.

Diesel is usually cheapest in the early morning and late evening; German pump prices swing by several cents across a single day, and stations may adjust prices multiple times a day. Avoid motorway (Autobahn) stations — they charge roughly 15 to 20 cents per litre more than town stations, so a short detour into a nearby town, such as around [**Munich**](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel_germany/munich) or [**Frankfurt**](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel_germany/frankfurt), pays off. Prefer supermarket-attached stations and independent, non-brand stations, which are almost always the cheapest in a German town. German motorways charge no toll for passenger cars up to 3.5 tonnes, so fuel is the main variable cost of your drive — which makes it worth optimising. For drivers coming from Ukraine, Polish diesel is usually cheaper, so fill up in Poland before crossing into Germany, and top the tank up fully before leaving Ukraine. You can compare Germany with its neighbours on our [fuel prices across Europe](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel) page. ## Plan your trip through Germany Before you set off, open the live city page for your destination and check the current number — prices update continuously, so the figures above are only a snapshot. Use the [route planner](https://nakordoni.eu/en/navigator) to map your drive and place a refuelling stop at the cheapest point along the way. If your route runs near [**Cologne**](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel_germany/koln), time your fill-up for an early-morning or late-evening stop at a town station rather than an Autobahn pump. ## Useful tools - [German Fuel Prices — Live Map](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel_germany) — diesel & petrol per city, updated continuously - [Fuel Prices Across Europe](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel) — compare Germany with neighbouring countries - [Germany — Border & Travel Info](https://nakordoni.eu/en/country/germany) — crossings, rules and driving info - [Route Planner](https://nakordoni.eu/en/navigator) — plan your drive with fuel stops Source: [nakordoni.eu — German Fuel Prices](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel_germany) | Updated: 10.07.2026 [Original source](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel_germany?utm_source=nakordoni.eu) ### Related articles - [Cheapest Fuel & Tolls Driving from Ukraine to Europe — Week 32](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-08-05/fuel-toll-guide-week-2026-32) 05.08.2026 - [Tourist season 2026: DPSU predicts +20% queues at the western border — what our data shows](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-06-02/turystychnyi-sezon-2026-dpsu-prohnozuie-20-cherh-na-zakhidnomu-kordoni-shcho-pokazuiut-nashi-dani) 02.06.2026 - [German Autobahn: Closures & Roadworks for Truckers — Week 32](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-08-04/autobahn-truck-week-2026-32) 04.08.2026 - [Truck Driving Ban for Ascension Day 2026 — 5 Countries Fahrverbot](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-05-09/truck-ban-ascension-day-2026-05-14) 09.05.2026 - [Summer Truck Driving Bans in France: Evening Driving Permitted After 19:00](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-08-02/litni-zaborony-na-rukh-vantazhivok-u-frantsii-vechirnii-rukh-dozvoleno-pislia-1900) 02.08.2026 [Back to News](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news)
