Affordable Fuel Now: E10 Gasoline and Diesel Hitting Record Lows in 2025
Record-setting fuel prices reach new lows for petrol and diesel vehicles in 2023.
It's a joyous ride for wallets out there! With both E10 gasoline and diesel hitting their rock-bottom prices this year, refueling has never been cheaper! The latest ADAC price comparison shows that the average E10 gasoline price nationwide dropped to a staggering 1.672 euros per liter on Tuesday, down by a whopping 1.5 cents. Diesel isn't far behind, plummeting by 1.6 cents to 1.556 euros per liter, making it the cheapest since October 3, 2021!
But why the sudden price dip? The ADAC points to the plummeting oil prices as the culprit, suggesting there's still potential for further reductions. However, the club critiques the current margin of savings, arguing that lower oil prices should have translated to more significant price cuts for consumers.
So, what about this year's fuel prices compared to the past? Well, as of May 2025, gasoline prices have seen an 8.3% drop compared to the same time last year. Global market conditions, economic factors, a shift towards ethanol-blended fuels like E10, and reduced geopolitical tensions are potential reasons for the downward trend. Nonetheless, the specific factors leading to the current low prices in 2025 remain elusive, requiring further economic or geopolitical analysis.
For diesel enthusiasts, there's some good news too! You can enjoy your ride for as low as 1.585 euros per liter! By comparison, general gasoline prices in Germany hover around 1.66 euros per liter, hinting that E10 gasoline prices might be slightly lower due to market conditions. But remember, these figures are only meant to give you a rough idea, as the exact prices might vary.
So, let's fill up our tanks and make the most of these lowest prices of the year! Happy driving!

The Commission, in light of the reduced fuel prices, might consider the impact on the industry, finance, and energy sectors, as the cost of raw materials like oil significantly influences their operations. As more people can afford fuel due to the lower prices, there could be increased demand for goods, potentially boosting the economy.
