Counted, not estimated

Across the 9 cities Refuelia maps in Germany, 10,988 stations and chargers are counted from OpenStreetMap. More charging points than fuel stations are mapped: 81% EV to 19% fuel. This is not a national total; it is what has actually been counted, and it says when.

What the names on a German pump mean

Super E10
Unleaded 95 with up to 10% ethanol, labelled E10 in a circle, and usually the cheapest petrol on the price board. Most petrol cars take it; the filler flap, the handbook or the DAT compatibility list says whether yours does.
Super
Unleaded 95 with up to 5% ethanol, labelled E5. This is the grade for a petrol car that is not cleared for E10.
Super Plus
Unleaded 98, also E5. The 100 and 102 octane grades sold under brand names are only needed where the handbook asks for that octane.
Diesel
Ordinary diesel, labelled B7: up to 7% biodiesel.
Paraffinischer Diesel
Paraffinic diesel such as HVO100, allowed at public pumps since the end of May 2024 and marked with a square containing XTL. Only for cars whose maker has approved it, model by model.
Autogas, Erdgas
LPG and CNG. A petrol car needs a conversion to use either, and Erdgas is priced per kilogram rather than per litre.

When a German station may change its price

Since 1 April 2026 a station in Germany may raise the price of Super E5, Super E10 and diesel only once a day, at 12 noon; it may cut prices at any time. The Bundestag passed the rule on 26 March 2026 for a limited period, to be reviewed after a year, with fines of up to €100,000 for breaking it.

Looking at more than 14,000 stations in May 2026, the ADAC found that the cheapest moment to fill up had moved to shortly before noon. At twelve o’clock E10 went up by an average of 14.6 cents a litre and diesel by 18.4 cents.

Each price change must still reach the Federal Cartel Office’s Market Transparency Unit for Fuels (MTS-K) within five minutes, as it has since December 2013. The unit does not publish the prices itself; licensed apps, websites and sat-nav makers pass them on. Refuelia is not one of them, so a German station price on this site comes from a driver and carries the date it was reported.

The motorway costs more

An ADAC comparison over 6 to 19 April 2026 put E10 at an average of €2.43 a litre at Autobahn stations against €2.10 at stations off the motorway, and diesel at €2.61 against €2.28: 33 cents more for either fuel. In Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg the gap reached 43 cents; in the eastern states it was 16 to 23 cents.

How Germany compares with the other 26 EU countries, week by week: fuel prices in Europe this week. The symbols on the nozzles are explained in what the labels on a fuel pump mean.

Cities in Germany

Places our saved map of Germany already holds, each with its own list of stations. What follows a city name is the kinds of place in the box around its centre — not a count, because the figure above this list is counted live for the whole country and the two would be measuring different things.

From OpenStreetMap, rebuilt with the map data. Other places in Germany are on the map; these are the ones with a page of their own. © OpenStreetMap contributors.

Open the map and see what is actually there

Looking costs nothing and needs no account. Any status a driver confirms carries the time it was made; where nobody has, the map says that instead of guessing, so you can decide for yourself how much to trust it.
