ADAC Drive

Munich – October 29, 2026 -- Diesel now averages 2.289 euros per liter across Germany, more than 20 cents above Super E10 at 2.084 euros, according to current figures from motoring club ADAC.

Petrol gets cheaper while diesel climbs

Compared with the previous week, Super E10 fell by 2.6 cents per liter. Diesel rose by 3.4 cents over the same period. Petrol had already become cheaper the week before, despite rising oil prices.

Brent crude trades at roughly $114 a barrel

The price of North Sea Brent is up from last week. ADAC links the diesel increase to the higher oil price, the tense situation on international diesel markets, and growing demand for heating oil as the colder season begins.

Filling up shortly before noon costs less

ADAC advises drivers to refuel shortly before 12 p.m. when possible, since prices are lowest then. At noon they rise sharply, then slowly fall again.

Germany – September 13, 2026 -- Drivers across Germany are paying significantly more for fuel this week, with the ADAC's latest weekly survey showing Super E10 up 7.6 cents per liter to a national average of 2.259 euros. Diesel climbed even faster, rising nearly 9 cents to 2.321 euros per liter.

Oil prices rose, but only partly explain the jump

The ADAC links the increase to a higher oil price, with Brent crude currently trading just under 100 US dollars per barrel. However, the association says the oil price and the euro-dollar exchange rate only partially justify current pump prices.
