Fuel is expensive – and especially so in Bavaria. In some federal states it is cheaper to fill up by more than 10 cents per liter.
How hard the high fuel prices hit drivers depends heavily on where they live. A liter of fuel is up to 13.6 cents cheaper in some federal states than in others, according to an analysis by the ADAC for the German Press Agency. The Bavarians in particular are being hit hard at the moment, while the Saarlanders are happy with petrol and Hamburg with diesel.
Specifically, on Friday, 10:00 a.m., Super E10 was the most expensive at 2.031 euros per liter on average at almost all petrol stations in Bavaria. It was followed by Schleswig-Holstein with EUR 1.995 and Thuringia with EUR 1.978. On the other hand, the cheapest were Saarland with 1.905 euros and Baden-Württemberg with an average of 1.934 euros as well as Rhineland-Palatinate with 1.938 euros.
In the case of diesel, Bavaria was also the most expensive at EUR 2.173 per liter. It is followed by Baden-Württemberg – this time not as the second cheapest but as the second most expensive state – with 2.159 euros and Saxony with 2.146 euros per liter. The cheapest diesel, on the other hand, is in Hamburg at 2.037 euros, followed by Lower Saxony at 2.046 euros and North Rhine-Westphalia at 2.057 euros per liter.
“These considerable price differences are difficult to explain,” says the ADAC. In any case, any higher transport costs would not suffice.
