Is crossing worth it?

Is the detour worth it?

Filling 50 litres in Germany saves EUR 1.50 on the pump price; the detour burns about 1.4 litres (EUR 2.98). The trip does not pay: the detour wipes out the saving (EUR -1.48 net).

How to read this

Border decisions turn on your own detour: the saving on a tank has to beat the fuel burned getting there. The calculator above uses national averages; drivers near the border should also check the live station pages on the cheaper side, where station prices can differ from the national average in either direction.
