With a few exceptions, Germany has the highest fuel prices in Europe, according to a Monday report by the German Federal Statistical Office, Destatis. Fuel is the cheapest at Hungarian and Maltese wells.
Gasoline and diesel are more expensive at German gas stations than in most of Germany's immediate neighbors, as reported by Destatis based on data from the European Commission and the Federal Cartel Office's Fuel Market Transparency Unit (MTS-K). Motorists in Germany (according to data collected on April 4) paid an average of 2.06 euros for a liter of super gasoline and a liter of diesel.

Among Germany's immediate neighbors, the price of a liter of super gasoline was higher that day only in the Netherlands (2.11 euros) and Denmark (2.09 euros), while diesel was cheaper than in Germany: 2.04 euros in the Netherlands and 1.93 euros in Denmark.
Fuel prices were cheaper in the countries bordering Germany that day: in Poland, super gasoline was 1.42 euros, and diesel was 1.61 euros. In Austria, super gasoline is 1.72 euros, diesel is 1.84 euros. In Luxembourg, super petrol is 1.73 euros, diesel is 1.76 euros. In the Czech Republic, super gasoline is 1.81 euros, diesel is 1.93 euros. In Belgium, super gasoline is 1.81 euros, diesel is 2.02 euros. In France, super gasoline was 1.83 euros and diesel was 1.89 euros, so refueling here was also cheaper than in Germany. Similar data are not available for Switzerland.
Gasoline and diesel prices at German gas stations were also significantly higher in the first week of April than before the war in Ukraine, although the prices of super gasoline and diesel have already decreased compared to the peak values measured in the second and third weeks of March. After the start of the war on February 24, prices rose significantly. For example, on February 21, shortly before the start of the war, super gasoline still cost 1.80 euros and diesel 1.66 euros per liter.
According to Destatis data, fuel prices are the lowest in the EU in Hungary and Malta. Super gasoline is the cheapest in Hungary, 1.30 euros per liter, and the second cheapest in Malta, 1.34 euros. Diesel, on the other hand, is cheaper in Malta, 1.21 euros, while in Hungary it is 1.42 euros, the second cheapest in the EU.
