Euro 95

The Netherlands has some of the highest pump prices in Europe due to high excise duties. Unmanned stations off the motorway and white-label brands (TinQ, Tango, Avia) are typically the cheapest.
Taxes
Brandstofaccijns plus 21% BTW. Excise on Euro 95 was raised again in 2025 and represents over 50% of the pump price.
When prices dip
Wholesale-linked stations adjust daily — Monday mornings are often cheapest, Friday afternoons the most expensive.
Tips
- Cross-border refuelling in Germany or Belgium can save €0.15–0.30/L on diesel.
- Use unmanned “onbemande” stations on provincial roads for the lowest list prices.
- Many employers offer fuel cards with 5–10 cents per litre discount at participating networks.

Ways to cut your per-litre cost
Beyond picking the cheapest pump, three approaches change what you actually pay.
Fuel cards
Regular long-distance and cross-border drivers
Settle at a negotiated network price rather than the pump price, and reclaim VAT on foreign fills in one statement.
Watch out: Network coverage varies by country, and some cards carry a monthly or per-transaction fee that outweighs the discount at low mileage.
Supermarket and unmanned stations
Local driving with a station choice within a few kilometres
Unmanned and hypermarket forecourts consistently price below motorway and branded sites in the same area.
Watch out: A detour costs fuel too — the /detour calculator shows when the trip is worth it.
Part-electric running
Predictable commutes with home or workplace charging
Cost per 100 km on home electricity is typically well below diesel or petrol at current European pump prices.
Watch out: Public rapid charging can cost as much as fuel; the saving depends on where you charge, not on the car alone.
