Guidance
Practical guidance for refuelling in Germany
E10, E5 and Diesel — what's the difference?
E10 contains up to 10% ethanol and suits most modern petrol cars; E5 (Super) has less. Check your fuel cap or manual before switching. Diesel is a separate pump entirely.
Why prices change through the day
German stations adjust prices several times daily. Peaks cluster around morning and midday, with the cheapest litres usually appearing in the evening.
Balancing price against distance
A station 3 km further that saves 4 ct/l only pays off on a larger fill. For a 40-litre tank that's about €1.60 — weigh it against the detour.
Why a station may be missing
Listings rely on operator reporting and community data. A station that hasn't reported recently, or is temporarily closed, may not appear until data refreshes.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are the fuel prices really live?+−
The tool loads data for your selected area and refreshes the view regularly. For the first HTML response, we show a static Berlin sample so the page stays useful even before the first live API response arrives. As soon as live data is available, the current station list replaces the sample automatically.
Which fuel types are supported?+−
You can switch between E10, E5, and diesel. That covers the fuel types drivers and small fleets in Germany most often compare in day-to-day refueling decisions.
Why is Berlin used as a fallback?+−
If browser location is not shared or the first live request is still loading, the page shows a transparent Berlin example. Berlin is a familiar large-city reference point and is easier to understand than an empty state full of placeholders.
Why can prices differ from what I see at the station?+−
A few minutes can pass between a reported price, the data transfer, and your arrival at the pump. There can also be quick price changes, display rounding, or cases where a station temporarily does not report a fuel type. It is best to check again shortly before refueling.
How often should I check prices before refueling?+−
The best time is shortly before departure or while you are already on the route. In busier areas, prices can move several times a day. If you drive the same route regularly, a quick afternoon or early evening comparison is often more useful than a morning check.
Is E10 always cheaper than E5?+−
Not always, but often. In many regions, E10 is a few cents lower than E5. Whether it makes sense for your vehicle also depends on manufacturer approval and real consumption. If your car supports E10 and you refuel often, the savings can become noticeable over time.
How do I find the best balance between price and distance?+−
Do not look only at the price per liter. If a station is 3 cents cheaper but 7 kilometers farther away, the detour can eat up the gain quickly. Sort by price or by distance and compare both sides directly.
Can I use this tool for fleets?+−
Yes, especially for small fleets, field-service vehicles, or teams with repeated routes in the same areas. It is not a full fleet-reporting system, but it is very practical for making cheaper refueling options visible before a trip starts.
