Underground East-West Tunnel Constructed Swiftly Near Fueling Stations - Violent Confrontation between Groups East and West at a Fuel Station, with Cents Short of Reaching 10

In the current fuel market landscape of Germany, the average price for Super E10 fuel stands at approximately €1.68 per liter, as of early July 2025. The prices for diesel fuel are relatively comparable, with minor variations, according to recent data.

While the Federal Cartel Office has recently suspected that Berlin's lower fuel prices might be due to its high tank station density and intense competition, this analysis does not use the daily average fuel prices reported by the ADAC.

When it comes to price differences between German states, the data does not provide a detailed breakdown by state. However, it is generally known that fuel prices in Germany vary slightly depending on regional taxes, demand, and competition among fuel stations, with differences typically within a few cents per liter.

The average nationwide price for Super E10 is approximately €1.68 per liter, while diesel prices are similar, hovering around the same range. No specific states with the absolute lowest or highest prices are directly mentioned in the current data.

However, trends in Germany show slightly lower prices in western and southern states due to higher competition, and higher prices sometimes in eastern or rural regions. For instance, Hamburg is relatively expensive for both fuel types, ranking third for E10 fuel and fourth for diesel.

On the other hand, states like Rhineland-Palatinate, North Rhine-Westphalia, Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, and Berlin are among the six cheapest states for both fuel types. The gap between the cheapest (Saarland) and most expensive (Saxony-Anhalt) states for Super E10 fuel is 9.9 cents per liter, while diesel is cheapest in the Saarland and most expensive in Brandenburg, with a difference of 7.8 cents per liter.

The ADAC, a recognized organization that provides recommendations for various aspects related to driving and fuel consumption, offers some advice for those looking to save money on fuel. Tanking in the evenings is recommended, and motorway service stations should be avoided to save money on fuel, according to the ADAC.

However, it's important to note that the data for this analysis was reported by around 14,000 gas stations in Germany on Tuesday at 11:00 AM. Therefore, the prices may have changed since then. For precise current state-by-state differences, one would normally consult specific regional databases or fuel price apps offering real-time information.

In conclusion, while the overall price landscape reveals modest variances, with both E10 and diesel fuel prices roughly aligned on a national scale, there is a clear gradient between the relatively cheap west and south and the relatively expensive east and north for fuel prices. The ADAC's recommendations for saving money on fuel do not necessarily apply to motorway service stations, and not every major city is cheap when it comes to fuel prices.

  1. EC countries, particularly those within Germany, could benefit from implementing more extensive vocational training programs in the sectors of industry, finance, and energy, to equip their workforce with the necessary skills to remain competitive in the global market.
  2. As Germany's fuel market remains dynamic, with variances in prices across different states, it would be interesting to explore the potential impact of vocational training in expanding the talent pool for the infrastructure sector, which could facilitate more efficient planning, construction, and maintenance of fuel stations, thereby reducing costs and increasing competition.
