Diesel Prices Soar in Baden-Württemberg: Which Regions Are Hit Hardest?

Baden-Württemberg currently has the highest diesel prices in Germany, according to recent data from the ADAC, the country’s largest automobile association. A snapshot taken on April 16, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Showed diesel selling for 2.190 euros per liter in the state, the highest among all German federal states at that time.

Super E10 gasoline in Baden-Württemberg was priced at 2.030 euros per liter during the same measurement, placing the state third highest nationally for that fuel type. The data reflects a broader trend of elevated fuel costs across the region since the onset of the Iran conflict, which has driven up global oil prices.

ADAC officials noted that the 11:00 a.m. Reading typically falls below the daily average due to a new pricing regulation that allows only one price increase per day, at noon. Prices earlier in the day are often lower than the day’s overall average. Despite this, Baden-Württemberg continues to rank among the most expensive regions for refueling.

Since the beginning of the Iran conflict, fuel prices have risen sharply across Germany. Diesel reached a new peak around Easter 2026, while Super E10 remained just below its March 2022 record. Recent weeks have seen some relief as prices have slightly decreased from those highs.

The ADAC has repeatedly urged the German government to implement temporary fuel tax relief, suggesting a reduction to the European Union’s minimum rate could lower prices by approximately 15 cents per liter. The organization also advises consumers to compare prices using apps and avoid refueling at the nearest station, particularly on highways, where price differences can be significantly higher.
