March 2025 brought a noticeable relief to the petrol pumps for drivers in Germany. After a long increase in fuel prices, these fell significantly last month. In its evaluation, the Clever consumer information service found that the price for Super E10 has decreased by around 5 cents and for diesel by about 6 cents compared to the previous month.
price changes in detail
On average, one liter of Super E10 cost 1.6938 euros in March, while the diesel reached 1.6208 euros per liter. These prices have been the lowest values since December 2024. A look at the price differences shows that compared to the previous year the liter Super E10 was around 10 cents cheaper. This leads to considerable savings for consumers: With four tank fillings of 60 liters, drivers in Germany can save up to 49 euros.
geographical price differences
The regional differences in fuel prices are also interesting. The cheapest prices for Super E10 were found in Duisburg, Mannheim and Stuttgart, while Dresden, Wuppertal and Hanover were among the most expensive cities. At Diesel, the choice fell on Duisburg, Bielefeld and Düsseldorf as the cheapest places. In contrast, the highest diesel prices were measured in Dresden.market conditions and geopolitical influences
The falling prices are not only the result of an oversupply of crude oil, but also a reaction to geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties that shaped the markets. Special mention find the effects of US criminal duties on imports that influenced the offer on the crude oil market. In addition, a possible stabilization in the region of the Middle East acts as a price -damping factor.
advice on refueling
To achieve the best prices, Steffen Bock, the managing director of Clever refueling, recommends comparing the prices at various petrol stations before refueling. This can be done through apps or online portals that show current prices. The cheapest times for refueling are often between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., as well as in the evening, between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Avoiding petrol stations on motorways can also help to save money.
FAZIT
The development of fuel prices in March 2025 shows that consumers can benefit from sunken prices, while at the same time geopolitical and economic factors influence pricing at the petrol stations. Drivers should keep an eye on the current price trends in order to be able to use the best offers. April, however, could bring uncertainties through fluctuating crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions.
