Diesel fuel prices in Germany have fallen below the cost of E10 gasoline for the first time since March, according to data analyzed by the ADAC.
The evaluation indicates that diesel has regained its position as a cheaper alternative to E10, ending a period of several weeks where gasoline prices were more competitive.
Data from the ADAC confirms that diesel is now also cheaper than Super gasoline, reflecting a shift in the pricing dynamics of the German fuel market as of May 17, 2026.
Regional Price Variations
While the general trend shows a decline in diesel costs relative to gasoline, the price drop is not uniform across the country. Reporting indicates that diesel has not fallen below the price of E10 in every German federal state.
This regional disparity suggests that local market conditions continue to influence fuel pricing, even as the national average for diesel trends downward compared to E10 and Super gasoline.
