This week, **🇨🇿 Czechia** has the cheapest diesel on the corridor at **€1.469/l**, and the single biggest money-saving move is simple: fill up in a cheaper country right before you cross into a pricier one. These [fuel prices](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel) update weekly and the ranking can change, so always check the live page for current numbers before you set off. ## Where fuel is cheapest right now Below are the twelve cheapest countries on the corridor this week, ranked by diesel price. All figures are approximate and converted to EUR for comparison. | # | Country | Diesel €/l | Petrol 95 €/l | LPG €/l | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | 🇨🇿 **Czechia** | **1.469** | 1.62 | 0.91 | | 2 | 🇧🇬 **Bulgaria** | 1.477 | 1.461 | — | | 3 | 🇸🇪 **Sweden** | 1.477 | 1.328 | — | | 4 | 🇪🇸 **Spain** | 1.534 | 1.518 | 1.07 | | 5 | 🇸🇰 **Slovakia** | 1.56 | 1.66 | 0.83 | | 6 | 🇭🇺 **Hungary** | 1.592 | 1.538 | 0.851 | | 7 | 🇱🇺 **Luxembourg** | 1.61 | 1.645 | — | | 8 | 🇸🇮 **Slovenia** | 1.618 | 1.546 | — | | 9 | 🇵🇱 **Poland** | 1.638 | 1.6 | 0.764 | | 10 | 🇭🇷 **Croatia** | 1.647 | 1.592 | 0.7 | | 11 | 🇦🇹 **Austria** | 1.729 | 1.685 | — | | 12 | 🇬🇷 **Greece** | 1.752 | 1.949 | — | Note: prices are approximate and EUR-converted for comparison; the live [fuel prices page](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel) shows current native-currency numbers per country and city. The [diesel price in Germany today](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel_germany) reaches **€2.027/l** — the most expensive on the corridor. Drivers researching [fuel prices in Denmark](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel_denmark/copenhagen) face similar levels, with Danish diesel at **€2.007/l**. Those checking [fuel prices in Macedonia](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel_macedonia) should consult the live page, since Macedonia is not part of this week's EUR ranking. ## Smart fuelling strategy The core tactic is border-hopping: fill your tank in the cheaper country immediately before crossing into an expensive one. For example, refuel in **🇵🇱 Poland** (diesel [€1.638/l](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel)) before entering **🇩🇪 Germany** (€2.027/l). If your route does not pass through the cheapest country, top off your tank to maximum before leaving Ukraine. Two more habits reduce the total cost significantly. First, avoid gas stations located directly on the motorway — they charge about 15–20% more, so a five-minute detour into a nearby town brings large savings. Second, in Western Europe, supermarket-attached stations are almost always the cheapest in the area. When you compare a country's specific prices — for instance [fuel in Croatia](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel_croatia) or [fuel in Austria](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel_austria) — the per-city pages show where the local cheapest stations are. ## Tolls and vignettes across Europe ### Vignette countries — buy a digital pass before you cross A vignette is a pre-paid digital pass you buy online before crossing the border. Cameras scan your license plate automatically, so there is no booth to stop at — but you must already hold a valid pass. Buy each one from the official site listed below. See our full [European vignettes and tolls](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/vignettes) guide for details and links. | Country | Cheapest transit pass | Buy online | | --- | --- | --- | | 🇷🇴 **Romania** | **3.5 EUR** (1-day) | roviniete.ro | | 🇲🇩 **Moldova** | **4 EUR** (7-day — no 1-day option) | evinieta.gov.md | | 🇧🇬 **Bulgaria** | **4.09 EUR** (1-day) | bgtoll.bg | | 🇸🇰 **Slovakia** | **8.1 EUR** (1-day) | eznamka.sk | | 🇨🇿 **Czech Republic** | **9.2 EUR** (1-day) | edalnice.cz | | 🇦🇹 **Austria** | **9.6 EUR** (1-day) | shop.asfinag.at | | 🇭🇺 **Hungary** | **14 EUR** (1-day) | nemzetiutdij.hu | | 🇸🇮 **Slovenia** | **16 EUR** (7-day — NO 1-day option) | evinjeta.dars.si | | 🇨🇭 **Switzerland** | **42.5 CHF** (annual — NO 1-day option) | e-vignette.ch | Most vignette countries sell a cheap 1-day transit pass — ideal if you are only driving through. Two exceptions matter: **🇸🇮 Slovenia** starts at a 7-day pass (16 EUR), and **🇨🇭 Switzerland** sells only an annual vignette (42.5 CHF). Plan for these fixed costs in advance. ### Pay-per-kilometre (toll booths) These countries use the ticket system: you take a ticket at entry and pay at a booth on exit. **🇷🇸 Serbia** — ticket on entry, pay on exit by cash or card. **🇮🇹 Italy** — take a ticket on entry, pay on exit; one of the most expensive networks in Europe. **🇫🇷 France** — a ticket/barrier system on most autoroutes; expensive, so budget accordingly. **🇭🇷 Croatia** — ticket on entry, pay on exit, with higher tariffs in the summer season. **🇵🇹 Portugal** — a mix of classic booths and electronic-only (Via Verde) motorways; get a transponder for the e-only roads. **🇵🇱 Poland** — state motorways are free for cars, while private A1, A2 and A4 concessions charge at booths or via the Autopay app. Overall, Italy, France and Croatia carry the highest per-kilometre costs. ### Toll-free for cars For passenger cars, motorways are free in **🇩🇪 Germany**, **🇧🇪 Belgium** and **🇳🇱 Netherlands** (rare tunnel or bridge exceptions aside). No vignette and no ticket are needed for cars in these three countries. ## Plan your trip Plan your refuels around the cheapest country on your route, and fill up just before you cross into a more expensive one. Pre-buy every vignette online from the official site before you reach the border — this lets you avoid border queues and the risk of a fine. Use the [route planner](https://nakordoni.eu/en/navigator) to map your drive with fuel and toll stops, and the [Trip Cost Calculator](https://nakordoni.eu/en/tools/trip-cost-calculator) to estimate your combined fuel and toll expenses for the whole journey. When you are converting UAH, PLN and EUR for cross-border payments, the [currency calculator](https://nakordoni.eu/en/currency_calc) shows live rates so you know what each pass and fill-up really costs. ## Useful tools - [Live Fuel Prices Across Europe](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel) — country & city prices, updated regularly - [European Vignettes & Tolls](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/vignettes) — e-vignette prices and official links - [Route Planner](https://nakordoni.eu/en/navigator) — plan your drive with fuel and toll stops - [Car Drivers Portal](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers) — all driving tools in one place - [Trip Cost Calculator](https://nakordoni.eu/en/tools/trip-cost-calculator) — estimate fuel, toll and total trip expenses - [Currency Calculator](https://nakordoni.eu/en/currency_calc) — UAH, PLN, EUR and more live rates Source: [nakordoni.eu — Fuel Prices & Tolls](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel) | Updated: 10.07.2026 [Original source](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_car_drivers/fuel?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 - [Kordon Online — an application for queues at the Ukrainian border in real time](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-07-01/kordon-onlain-zastosunok-dlia-cherh-na-kordoni-ukrainy-v-realnomu-chasi) 01.07.2026 - [Truck Driving Bans in Europe — Week 32, 2026-08-03 to 2026-08-09](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-08-03/traffic-bans-week-2026-32) 03.08.2026 - [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 - [Saints Cyril and Methodius Day 2026 Truck Driving Ban in Czech Republic](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-06-28/truck-ban-saints-cyril-and-methodius-day-cz-2026-07-05) 28.06.2026 [Back to News](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news)
