Current fuel prices in Dresden: Where is the cheapest place to fill up today?
The fuel prices in Germany recently made people sit up and take notice again. Current figures show that petrol and diesel have become more expensive not only in the Dresden region, but throughout the country. According to a recent report by Sächsische.de Prices at gas stations are often higher at the borders with neighboring countries, such as Austria and the Czech Republic. For drivers, finding the cheapest fuel is sometimes a bit of an odyssey, made easier by an interactive map that shows the price range for different types of fuel such as E5, E10 and diesel.
In general, it can be seen that fuel prices are subject to seasonal fluctuations. Prices tend to peak, especially in the summer months, which are traditionally popular for travel and excursions. Prices are usually highest in the morning between 7 and 8 a.m. The best times to refuel are between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. If you fill up your tank cleverly, you can often save a cent or two here.

Another interesting point is that over 52.5% of fuel prices in Germany consist of taxes. This mainly concerns energy tax. The share of the crude oil price and other costs such as refining and transport also play a significant role in the overall cost mix. This partly explains why simple price comparisons often fall short, as market prices are heavily influenced by competition, political decisions and even geopolitical developments.
