The average price for a liter of diesel fuel in Germany has been changing a lot in the last two years. Previously, figures peaked in March 2022. In January 2025, the average price for a liter of diesel fuel was around 170 cents.

Over the past two decades the price of diesel fuel in Germany has fluctuated dramatically. Between 2000 and 2012, prices increased from 0.81 euros per liter to a peak of 1.49 euros. Prices began to decrease in the following years, dropping to 1.08 euros per liter as of 2016, close to the low seen in 2009. However, by 2019 the price per liter of diesel had again increased, at 1.25 euros per liter. Diesel prices decreased in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, and increased to 1.28 euros per liter in 2021. As of June 2020, the average cost of diesel in Germany was lower than in France, Italy, and the United Kingdom.Global oil price increaseThe rise in diesel prices in recent years can be explained by the increase in crude oil prices. The cost of crude oil is the main component of diesel fuel prices and varies depending on supply and demand. From 2016 onwards, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent crude oil spot prices grew annually and stood at 65.23 and 71.34 U.S. dollars per barrel respectively in 2018. Diesel cars losing popularityDiesel was once the main choice of fuel in Europe for car buyers, but this has been changing in recent years. Between 2014 and 2018, the share of new passenger cars with diesel engines fell noticeably across Europe. In Germany, shares dropped by approximately 16 percent during this period to 32 percent. This decline in popularity also had an impact on prices.

Influences on gasoline prices

The price of gasoline is a frequently discussed issue, and is a part of almost everybody’s life in developed countries. Gasoline prices worldwide are dependent of a number of factors: crude oil prices, costs for processing and distribution, demand, strength of currencies, taxation, and availability. The most influential factor is the crude oil price. This price includes the costs for exploration, extraction, and transport. What the consumer pays in the end is also an issue of national oil pricing policy. Typical regions with high taxes on gasoline are European countries and Japan. Other countries keep consumer prices low by subsidizing the costs for gasoline. Among latter countries are the United States, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Venezuela, Egypt, Malaysia, Bolivia, and others. There are many other factors, however, which directly influence the price of gasoline. Wars, crises, and natural disasters in oil producing regions, for example, can obstruct the production and transportation, and thus cause higher crude oil prices. Last but not least, the end-consumer defines the price through his or her demand. A higher number of people driving cars means higher prices for gasoline, which is often the case in the summer months or holiday seasons.

The average monthly price for natural gas in the United States amounted to 3.02 nominal U.S. dollars per million British thermal units (Btu) in December 2024. By contrast, natural gas prices in Europe were about four times higher than those in the U.S. Prices for Europe tend to be notably higher than those in the U.S. as the latter benefits from being a major hydrocarbon producer. Europe's import reliance European prices for natural gas rose most notable throughout the second half of 2021 and much of 2022, peaking at over 70 U.S. dollars per million Btu in August 2022. The sharp rise was due to supply chain issues and economic strain following the COVID-19 pandemic, which was further exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. As a result of the war, many countries began looking for alternative sources, and Russian pipeline gas imports to the European Union declined as a result. Meanwhile, LNG was a great beneficiary, with LNG demand in Europe rising by more than 60 percent between 2021 and 2023. How domestic natural gas production shapes prices As intimated, the United States’ position among the leaders of worldwide natural gas production is one of the main reasons for why prices for this commodity are so low across the country. In 2023, the U.S. produced more than one trillion cubic meters of natural gas, which allays domestic demand and allows for far lower purchasing prices.

As of February 11, 2025, a liter of Super E10 costs an average of around 176 euro cents in Germany. Due to the Russia-Ukraine war, there was a significant price increase in the course of 2022, which levelled off again at the end of the year. Prices rose again in 2023.

The average annual price of diesel fuel in Germany tended to rise between 1950 and 2024. The price increase has increased significantly since 2020 in particular, only to fall again slightly from 2023. As of December 2024, the average diesel price was roughly 166.5 cents.

In June 2020, the gasoline price per liter in the United States stood at 0.55 U.S. dollars, the cheapest among the selected eight countries. However, this is a considerable price change compared to June 2019, when figures were 23.4 percent higher. Italy recorded the highest fuel price of all countries listed here, at 1.56 U.S. dollars per liter. The prices concern unleaded premium (95 RON) for France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom and regular unleaded for Canada, Japan, and the United States (AKI 87). Liquid fuels demand decline following coronavirusFinal gasoline prices result from crude oil charges, processing and distribution costs, and taxes and underly supply and demand. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has reduced the demand for fuel and in turn impacted petroleum prices worldwide. The U.S. liquid fuels demand in the road sector is expected to have decreased to 8.7 million barrels per day in the second quarter of 2020. As a result, U.S. monthly crude oil production dropped across all regions between March and August 2020. Diesel prices worldwideItaly also has the greatest tag on diesel prices among the above listed countries. As of that same month, the price for automotive diesel stood at 1.43 U.S. dollars per liter in the Southern European country. Diesel prices tend to be lower than gasoline prices, with the United Kingdom and the U.S. proving to be the exception.

In May 2024, the average diesel price in Germany was 142.9 British pence per liter. It was the lowest monthly average for 2024 so far. Figures spiked notably during March 2022 as the Russia-Ukraine war impacted crude oil prices, which affected motor fuel prices across multiple countries, particularly in Europe. In the period of consideration, figures saw a net increase despite some fluctuations.

On March 24, 2025, the price of ultra-low sulfur unleaded petrol (gasoline) in the United Kingdom averaged 135.61 pence per liter. This compared to 143.07 pence per liter for diesel. Diesel prices were consistently higher than petrol/gasoline prices throughout this period, although the margin varied. Reasons for such differences in pricing lie in the refining process and molecular makeup of the products, with diesel requiring more complex refining processes and being an overall heavier liquid. As motor fuel pricing in the UK is not regulated by a monitoring body, there may also be notable differences in prices between retailers and regions. Supermarkets provide lowest fuel prices in the UK In the UK, much of the motor fuel is sold through supermarkets. Large supermarkets, or hypermarkets, account for more than 40 percent of all motor fuel sales in the country. The reason for their popularity often lies in the fact that they offer lower average prices. In the last four years, regular petrol/gasoline sold at supermarkets was up to six pence per liter cheaper than the national average. How UK fuel prices compare to the rest of the world Tied as they are to crude oil prices, motor fuels are generally cheapest in major producing countries, such as Iran, Venezuela, and Russia. In Europe, costs of importing the raw or finished products, in addition to taxes and levies, may hike up pump prices significantly. The UK is often among the countries with the highest petrol/gasoline prices, alongside other large European car markets such as France and Germany.

One liter of diesel cost around 110.7 eurocents to car drivers in Germany in 2020. This meant that over 56 percent of the price of one liter of diesel went into taxes, with excise duties costing on average 47.04 eurocents. During that same period, 65 percent of the price for one liter of super went into taxes. In March 2022, the German government announced measures to reduce fuel tax, including reducing taxes by 14 cents per liter for diesel and 30 cents per liter for gasoline.

After easing from a high of 1.47 euros per liter in 2012, the price of diesel fuel in Belgium increased from 2016 to 2019, eventually reaching 1.44 euros per liter. 2002 and 2003 saw the lowest price this century, when diesel fuel was available for an average price of 73 euro cents per liter. In 2021, diesel fuel price stood at 1.41 euros per liter. Diesel prices in neighboring landsTransport companies crossing through Belgium’s nearest neighbors may want to consider where their drivers refuel vehicles, driving straight through Belgium where possible. Diesel fuel was available for an average of 1.3 euros per liter in the Netherlands during 2018, and 1.23 euros per liter in France during 2017. Operations with a large fleet of trucks could save significant sums by filling up in Germany, with the average price of diesel sitting at 1.22 euro cents as of 2018.Diesel vehicles on the decline Diesel vehicles were once a favorite of European drivers, but environmental concerns and regulatory changes have triggered a shift in recent years. Between 2013 and 2017, the share of new passenger cars with diesel engines fell steeply across Europe. In Germany, shares dropped by approximately 10 percent during this period to 39 percent. This decline in popularity also had an impact on prices.
