The Ukraine war is driving up fuel prices in Germany.

It can therefore be worthwhile for motorists to observe a few tips when filling up.

Kassel – The petrol prices in Germany are rising and reaching for the tap is becoming more and more expensive.

The war in Ukraine is currently causing significant price increases for super and diesel.

Previously, rising crude oil prices and the energy tax had already pushed up the price.

Commuters are particularly dependent on their vehicles and have to dig deep into their wallets to fill up regularly.

Due to the rising prices, it is all the more worthwhile to follow a few tips when filling up.

Saving when refueling: Ukraine war is driving up fuel prices – apps help with the comparison

As the Rheinische Post reports, one should compare the petrol prices of the various providers.

Although these are more or less based on each other in terms of price, the price varies from gas station to gas station.

Although it usually only differs by a few cents, extrapolated to the total amount, several euros can be saved.

To get a better overview of the current fuel prices in the area, you can use the following apps:

  • "Clever refueling" for iOS and Android.

  • “ADAC fuel prices” for iOS and Android.

  • “Refuel more” for iOS and Android.

On the other hand, attention should also be paid to the brand of the gas station.

Independent gas stations are usually particularly cheap compared to large chains such as Shell, Esso or Aral and are therefore a valuable tip.

As a study by the General German Automobile Club (ADAC) shows, the Jet is on average around six cents per liter cheaper than other chains.

Despite skyrocketing fuel prices in Germany, consumers can save with a few tips.

Tips for refueling: Time and place of the gas station important

In addition, consumers should pay attention to the time when they visit the petrol station.

Most start the day with high prices, which they slowly lower towards the evening.

As a rule, fuel is cheapest between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. and between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Even before an upcoming trip by car, drivers should think about when and where they can refuel their vehicle.

In principle, it is advisable to stop for fuel in Germany, as fuel prices in neighboring countries are often more expensive.

According to ADAC, for example, a liter of diesel costs around ten cents more in the Netherlands and a liter of premium around three cents more than in Germany.

In the Czech Republic, however, fuel sometimes costs 44 cents less, which is why many German citizens are currently making a trip to the neighboring country.

Currently, the prices for refueling* differ significantly from place to place - an expert explains why this is the case.

However, you should avoid filling up at motorway service stations.

The prices there are generally much more expensive than in cities or on country roads.

As the ADAC informs, an Agip gas station on the A5 motorway asked for a whole 30 cents more per liter in August of this year.

It is therefore always advisable to find out about possible gas stations and their fuel costs before you start your journey.

Another tip: when buying a car you can pay attention to a few points in order to be able to save fuel.

Don't just save money when refueling: These tips ensure lower fuel consumption

Saving a small amount on fuel is useful, but ultimately only half the battle.

Because the right tires also play a role in fuel consumption.

As reported by rtl.de, fuel savings of up to 5 percent can be achieved if the tire pressure is correct.

Because less rolling resistance also means lower fuel consumption.

If the tire pressure is just a tad too high, this can in turn increase fuel consumption.

An additional tip is to remove unnecessary weight in and out of the car.

Unused roof structures and unnecessary stuff in the trunk are nothing but ballast in the long run.

The more weight you carry, the more petrol or diesel the vehicle consumes.

Drivers should also always drive with foresight and at low speeds, for example by shifting up as early as possible.

With automatic transmissions, the selectable eco mode ensures shorter shift intervals and lower speeds, reports rtl.de.

Finally, the air conditioning should also be used sparingly, as it also requires fuel and consumes a lot of energy.

As part of the traffic light coalition*, the FDP calls for the expansion of CO2 emissions trading to include the entire transport sector.

As a result, the fuel price could rise even further in the long term.
