This is where the Germans pay the most at the gas pump
When filling up, the prices always fluctuate. Anyone who travels a lot by car knows this: Just fill up the tank and the gas at the next gas station is a few cents cheaper – annoying – or more expensive – lucky you. If you want to save at the pump, you not only have to wait for the right moment, you also have to live in the right federal state.

ADAC reveals: Nowhere does refueling cost more than in Bavaria

Lack of water makes fuel more expensive in the south
According to ADAC, the price comparison shows a strong north-south divide. While the average prices are generally lower in the northern federal states, the price increases sharply towards the south. In addition to Bavaria, consumers in Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and Hesse are feeling the effects of this.
The automotive experts identify this as one of the reasons low water of the Rhine. It makes transporting fuels more difficult, slower and more expensive. The end of the tank discount is also coming up soon, and fuel will then become even more expensive.
