Saxony-Anhalt Remains High-Price Region for Fuel in Germany
According to a recent evaluation by the ADAC, Saxony-Anhalt continues to be one of the most expensive federal states in Germany for refueling vehicles. Data captured in a late-morning snapshot reveals that Super E10 gasoline averages 2.061 euros per liter in the region, placing it third highest nationwide, behind only Brandenburg and Bavaria. Diesel prices in Saxony-Anhalt are also above the national average, costing approximately 2.187 euros per liter, which positions the state in the upper third of price rankings. Bavaria and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania report even higher diesel costs. The report notes that these figures represent a specific snapshot taken at 11 a.m., just before the daily permitted price increase at noon, meaning they reflect near-daily lows and may not fully align with overall daily averages. Generally, fuel remains cheaper in western German states and city-states due to higher gas station density and increased market competition. This analysis highlights ongoing regional disparities in fuel affordability across Germany, with eastern regions like Saxony-Anhalt facing consistently higher costs compared to their western counterparts.
