Directions for Locating Fuel Stations En Route for Your Summer Vacation - Affordable Gas Stops on Route to Summer Getaway
Finding the Cheapest Fuel Stations for Summer Vacations from Baden-Württemberg
Travelling from Baden-Württemberg for a summer vacation can be an exciting time, but the cost of fueling up along the way can add unnecessary stress. Here's a guide to help you find the most affordable fuel stations in various directions.
When heading South towards Switzerland or Austria, the Fuel Flash app is your best friend. This app provides real-time prices for over 60,000 petrol stations across Germany and neighbouring countries, allowing you to search by location or route direction with live updates on the cheapest stations [1]. Avoid the big brands like Aral, Shell, Esso, and Agip if possible, as no-name or less famous brands such as Star, OMV, HEM, and bft usually offer lower prices [4].
Heading East towards Bavaria and beyond, look for no-name stations. Keep an eye on the Fuel Flash app updates for the latest prices [1][4].
For those heading West towards France or Alsace, prices near the Rhine can vary. Use the app's filtering by location and price alert features to find the cheapest options [1].
When travelling North towards Karlsruhe, Frankfurt, or further north, stations en route often include cheaper options from local chains [1][4].
It's important to note that the differences in fuel prices are relatively stable, based on data from July 28. The Czech Republic offers the cheapest fuel for both gasoline and diesel, with savings of 31 cents per liter of gasoline and 22 cents of diesel compared to Bavaria [2]. Slovakia offers significantly cheaper diesel fuel compared to Germany [5], while Hungary and Slovakia cannot beat the savings offered by the Czech Republic [6].
Switzerland is expensive to fuel up in, with gasoline more expensive than in Germany, Italy, or France [7]. In Belgium, diesel is more expensive, but gasoline is cheaper compared to Germany [8]. Gasoline and diesel are more expensive in Denmark and the Netherlands compared to Germany [9].
France has slightly cheaper gasoline and slightly more expensive diesel compared to Germany [10]. Heading towards Spain, you can save significantly on fuel in the destination country. Fueling up in Poland is also cheap, with savings of 34 cents on super gasoline and 19 cents on diesel [11].
Remember, fuel prices can vary depending on the gas station, time of day, region, and whether on the highway or a country road [3]. To optimize your savings, monitor fuel prices shortly before and during your trip to catch price drops or promotions [1][4].
Happy travels!
