Soaring Gas Prices in the Eastern Regions Pose a Depth Challenge for Drivers
In the eastern part of Germany, fuel prices, including Super E10 and diesel, tend to vary somewhat by federal state, but specific regional differences for East Germany are not explicitly provided in the available data. However, Germany's average fuel price has been around 2.02 USD per liter for gasoline (Super E10 equivalent) in July 2025, with some fluctuation month to month [1][2].
While the search results do not detail which eastern states have particularly high prices or which offer relatively cheaper fuel, it is known that among federal states, prices can vary due to competition, local taxes, and supply logistics. Larger cities and urban areas, including those in East Germany, often have slightly higher fuel prices compared to rural areas due to higher operating costs for stations.
States like Saxony, Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia, and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern generally have fuel prices close to the national average, but exact ranking or differences among these states are not provided in the search results.
However, there are some notable exceptions. For instance, Brandenburg has reported a high price increase for diesel, and drivers in Saxony-Anhalt pay the most for Super E10 fuel. On the other hand, Berlin is significantly cheaper than its eastern neighbours for both Super E10 and diesel. In Saarland, drivers can find the cheapest Super E10 fuel.
Prices for Super E10 and diesel are also higher in Thuringia, Schleswig-Holstein, and Hamburg. These price differences between fueling up in the East and West can be substantial, leading to a concern for many drivers due to the high prices.
The ADAC, a well-known automobile association in Germany, has reported significant regional differences in fuel prices and advises drivers in the East to be mindful of fuel costs and consider fueling up in the evenings and avoiding highways to save money. The ADAC's findings suggest that fuel prices are higher in the Eastern states of Germany.
In summary, while Germany's average fuel price is around 2.02 USD/liter for gasoline, no precise data from the results identifies which East German states have notably higher or lower fuel costs for Super E10 or diesel as of August 2025 [1][2]. For exact pricing by state, one would need to consult specialized local fuel price comparison tools or regional economic data sources. The high cost of fueling up in the East is a pressing issue for many drivers, and the ADAC's recommendations could help mitigate these costs.

In the eastern part of Germany, fuel prices for Super E10 and diesel can vary between states, with Saxony-Anhalt having the highest Super E10 prices and Brandenburg experiencing a significant increase in diesel costs. On the contrary, Berlin offers cheaper prices for both fuels compared to its eastern neighbors. Furthermore, the high cost of fueling up in the East is a significant concern for many drivers, and the ADAC advises mindfulness of fuel costs in the region.
