Tips for cheaper refueling: the right time and gas station
In order to be able to refuel cheaper, you should refuel at the right time. Because the price of fuel fluctuates greatly throughout the day.
- It is generally the cheapest time to refuel between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. and between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.
- On the other hand, the price is highest at night and early in the morning. Here you pay an average of 7 cents more per liter. Even at lunchtime the prices are comparatively high. From 2 p.m. you usually sink.
- The prices differ only slightly between the days of the week. So you dont have to wait for a specific day of the week.
- The choice of gas station can also make a difference in price. Independent gas stations are often a few cents cheaper than large chains like Esso or Star.
Alternative: Website with current fuel prices
You can also use websites like clever-tanken to compare current fuel prices.
- Here, too, you can use the search bar to enter your location, specify the type of fuel and the search radius.
- The prices listed are updated according to the market transparency office, among other things. You can use the filters to sort the results by price or distance.
- If you register, you can set up a tank alarm. You will be informed as soon as there is a price you have specified in your area.
