Refuel at the right time: this is the perfect time

At the moment, fuel costs are relatively cheap, but that can change quickly. But there are already big price fluctuations every day, which means you can save a lot of money at the right time. When you should refuel, read below:

• The best time for a new tank filling is in the evening. Then the prices are lowest during the day, so you can save up to 17 cents or more per liter. These fluctuations are normal and arise from the price war of the providers.
• It is best to fill up between 6 and 8 p.m., during which the liter price is the lowest. Refueling later does not make sense, because refueling is also significantly more expensive at night than in the evening.
• The right petrol station is also important for the cheapest price: petrol stations from Jet and Star are a few cents cheaper than petrol stations from oil companies such as Aral or Shell. Free petrol stations are also often a few cents cheaper.
• Tip: You can get a quick view of the current fuel prices by querying them via the app. Then you have a good comparison option and can choose the cheapest petrol station in the area.

Refuel at the right time: You should avoid these times

After you have found out when it is best to refuel, read here when it is better not to refuel:

• Generally, you shouldn't refuel in the morning. At this time, prices are at their highest as providers react to the high demand from the many commuters and professionals and keep the price higher. Accordingly, you should avoid the time between six and nine in the morning in particular.
• Even at lunchtime, it is not particularly advisable, because even then the prices are still very high throughout the day. If it is possible, you should wait until the next tank filling until the evening or just fill up with a few liters. From 2 p.m. you can expect a drop in fuel prices.
