Fuel prices in Germany edge lower on July 27, 2026

Herz — World Desk · 27 July 2026 at 10:39 · 30s summary · 3 min read

The essentials

Fuel prices in Germany slipped slightly on July 27, 2026, according to ADAC and Tankerkönig. On Sunday, July 26, Super E10 averaged €2.157 per liter and diesel €2.21 per liter—roughly 1 cent less than the previous Thursday. This easing follows a sharp drop in Brent crude, Europe's benchmark, which had topped $100 per barrel just days earlier. Since the start of the Iran war, prices remain significantly higher than pre-conflict levels. The ADAC expects a "rapid and meaningful" pass-through of the crude decline to pump prices.

What we know

On the morning of Monday, July 27, 2026, fuel prices in Germany edged lower. Both the ADAC—Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club, Germany's largest motoring club—and Tankerkönig, a real-time fuel price comparison portal, confirmed this downward trend, which had begun over the weekend.

On Sunday, July 26, the national average stood at €2.157 per liter for Super E10—a gasoline blend containing up to 10% ethanol by volume and the cheapest fuel option at German filling stations—and €2.21 per liter for diesel. These prices represent approximately 1 cent less than the previous Thursday.

The ADAC expects that the recent decline in crude oil will be passed through to pump prices "rapidly and meaningfully."

Context: crude oil and price transmission

On Thursday, July 24, 2026, Brent—crude oil extracted from the North Sea that serves as the benchmark for European petroleum markets, priced in dollars per barrel of 159 liters—exceeded $100 per barrel before beginning a sharp decline.

Since mid-July 2026, despite this spike in crude on international markets, German pump prices had risen only a few cents—an unusually weak pass-through, particularly striking for Super E10.

Beyond crude oil pricing, refining capacity and exchange rates also influence final pump prices.

Since the start of the Iran war

Compared to the last day before the Iran war began, a liter of Super E10 now costs roughly 38 cents more and a liter of diesel roughly 46 cents more in Germany. For a 50-liter fill-up, the surcharge reaches €19 and €23 respectively.

Timeline

Before mid-July 2026
Start of the Iran war (exact date unspecified in sources): reference point adopted by ADAC for fuel price comparisons.
Since mid-July 2026
Sharp rise in crude oil on international markets. German pump prices had risen only a few cents—unusually weak pass-through, especially notable for Super E10.
Thursday, July 24, 2026
Brent exceeds $100 per barrel, then begins a sharp decline.
Sunday, July 26, 2026
ADAC national averages: Super E10 at €2.157/liter and diesel at €2.21/liter, roughly 1 cent less than the previous Thursday.
Monday, July 27, 2026 (morning)
Further slight decline confirmed by ADAC and Tankerkönig. ADAC hopes for "rapid and meaningful" pass-through of the crude decline to pump prices.

What remains uncertain

The exact date of the start of the Iran war, the reference point for price comparisons, is not specified in available sources.

The magnitude and timing of a more pronounced pass-through of the Brent decline to pump prices remain unknown.

Why have pump prices not tracked the rise in crude oil since mid-July?

Since mid-July 2026, the Brent surge had been unusually poorly passed through to the pump, particularly for Super E10. Refining capacity and exchange rates also play a role in determining final pump prices.

What are typical fuel prices in Germany at end of July 2026?

On Sunday, July 26, 2026, the national average stood at €2.157 per liter for Super E10 and €2.21 per liter for diesel, according to ADAC. A further slight decline was recorded on Monday, July 27.

How much have prices risen since the start of the Iran war?

Super E10 costs roughly 38 cents more per liter and diesel roughly 46 cents more than before the war, meaning €19 and €23 in additional cost for a 50-liter fill-up respectively.

What is the ADAC?

The ADAC (Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club) is Germany's largest motoring club and one of Europe's largest. It regularly publishes authoritative surveys of average national fuel prices, serving as the key barometer of the petroleum market at the pump.

What is Brent crude and how does it affect pump prices?

Brent is crude oil extracted from the North Sea serving as the benchmark for European petroleum markets. Its price, quoted in dollars per barrel, drives German pump prices with variable time lags. Refining capacity and exchange rates also play a role.
