Gas Up and Save: Fuel Prices Reach New Lows in 2025! 🤑
Record-Breaking Prices Drop for Supergasoline and Diesel Fuel in 2023
Fueling up just got a whole lot cheaper! Both E10 gasoline and diesel have hit record lows this year, according to the latest ADAC price comparison.
E10 gasoline has dropped by a significant 1.5 cents, bringing the average price to a fantastic 1.672 euros per liter nationwide as of Tuesday. Diesel isn't far behind, with a decrease of 1.6 cents, setting the average at a thrifty 1.556 euros. These prices are the lowest since December 13, 2024, and Halloween 2024 for E10 and diesel, respectively.
Why the price crash? The ADAC attributes this current slide to the tumbling oil price. Though they believe there's still room for further reductions, as lower oil prices haven't yet filtered fully to consumers' wallets.
Let's dive deeper into the fuel price trend. As of early May 2025, Octane-95 gasoline - comparable to E10 - averages at 1.66 euros per liter in Germany, marking an 8.3% decrease compared to the same period last year. Diesel prices, though not specified in the provided results, typically mirror gasoline trends and are influenced by global oil prices, refining margins, and taxes.
What's on the horizon for fuel prices? Market forecasts predict gasoline prices could remain around current levels or see slight increases by the end of Q2 2025. By 2026 and 2027, average gasoline prices are expected to trend upward due to global demand trends, energy transition policies, and potential supply constraints.
Remember, diesel prices are expected to follow similar trends, with potential volatility depending on refinery capacity, regulatory changes, and shifts in demand from road transport and industry. So, it's still a good idea to fill up that tank while prices are low! 💰😎
