Fuel cost is one of the key factors when planning a road trip or motorhome journey. Price differences between countries can be tenfold: from under €0.20 per liter in Algeria to over €2.20 in the Netherlands.
Fuel in Europe
In EU countries, diesel and gasoline prices include excise duties and VAT. The most expensive fuel is in the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany. Relatively cheaper in Poland, Bulgaria, and Romania. Data is published by the European Commission every Thursday.
Tips for Saving on Fuel
Fill up your tank in low-price countries before entering expensive ones. Use apps like TankerKönig (Germany) or Gaspy (New Zealand) to find cheap stations. Outside the EU, fuel is often subsidized — this explains very low prices in Algeria, Turkmenistan, and Egypt.
