Current fuel prices: Where is the cheapest place to fill up in Dresden today?

Every day, drivers in Dresden have to think about the best time to refuel. However, today, August 10, 2025, fuel prices can be easily monitored thanks to the new interactive map Sächsische.de. Here, the current prices for gasoline, E5 and E10 at various gas stations in the area are visible, making it easier for users to find the best price.

The map allows you to move the map section and also enter a specific location or postal code to view prices in other regions, such as Bautzen. A clever tool that is helpful for anyone who wants to save on gas prices. User feedback on the overview is also welcome and may inspire future improvements.

Transparency thanks to MTS-K

But how does the data on fuel prices come about? The prices come from the Market Transparency Office for Fuels (MTS-K) at the Federal Cartel Office. Every gas station company in Germany is legally obliged to report price changes to this office in real time. In this way, Tankpreise.de guarantees that the information is official, unadulterated and neutral - no room for rumors or cheating.

MTS-K specializes in making the price landscape transparent and is in direct contact with around 15,000 gas stations. The aim is to provide a better overview of fuel prices and promote competition. Even if one thinks that the prices at different gas stations are identical, such price equality is not evidence of collusion. They are often the result of keen observation of the competition.

Fuel prices and timing tips

A particularly important point that should not be forgotten: prices are subject to a wide range of fluctuations every day. In Germany, an average of 18 price changes are recorded per day. The best times to fill up tend to be shortly before 7 p.m. and shortly before 10 p.m. - a good tip for anyone who wants to save cleverly. For early risers, however, it could be a disadvantage: prices are often highest at night and early in the morning. Motorway gas stations are an exception here, as they change their prices less frequently and are significantly more expensive on average.

Overall, pricing in the fuel market remains a major issue due to the high tax rate of over 50 percent on gasoline and diesel. Anyone interested in obtaining further information on current developments in the fuel markets will find plenty of material on the MTS-K website, including contact options and comprehensive data on fuels Bundeskartellamt.

It is therefore an advantage for drivers in Dresden to be aware of the current situation and to use the necessary tools. With the interactive map and real-time data from the MTS-K you can get a good deal when refueling!
