Fuel prices continue to rise: where you can now refuel more cheaply in Austria!

Österreich - The drivers in Austria have to dig deep into their pockets again at the beginning of 2025. The gasoline prices rose significantly in January. According to the Austrian automotive, motorcycle and touring club (ÖAMTC), the average price for super gasoline increased to 1.571 euros per liter, which corresponds to an increase of 6.3 cents compared to December 2024. Diesel was also more expensive, and cost an average of 1.609 euros in January, an increase of 6.2 cents. These price increases are partly to be explained by the increased CO2 pricing, but they are significantly higher than what would be justified by this increase. The increase is particularly due to the higher oil prices, which in mid -January catapulted the petrol prices to new maximum values ​​of 1.619 euros for great and 1.659 euros for diesel, such as Das Kleine Zeitung reported.

The ÖAMTC also points out that drivers who travel during the semester break can usually find cheaper prices in Austria than in countries such as Germany and Italy, which traditionally have high fuel prices. However, according to the experts, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovenia are cheaper alternatives. The prices are particularly exorbitant on the highways: During the price of motorway stamps in mid -January, this price rose unchanged from EUR 2.099 to EUR 2.129 in contrast to the lower average prices. Between the highest and the lowest prices per liter, there is a gap of about 60 cents, such as 5min.at highlighted.
