Fuel prices in Austria: what you should know

Price increases only at noon

Austria has a special rule: stations may raise fuel prices only once a day, at 12:00, while they can lower them at any time. Prices are therefore usually highest just after noon and fall again during the afternoon and evening; the cheapest time to fill up is usually the morning, before noon. Every station must report its prices to E-Control's official fuel price calculator.

What makes up the price

The price consists of the wholesale price, the mineral oil tax (a fixed amount per litre), the CO2 price, which rises gradually, and 20% VAT. Fuel in Austria is often cheaper than in neighbouring Germany and Italy, so many drivers fill up just across the border.

Where to fill up for less

Motorway service stations are usually the most expensive; discount stations and independent operators are among the cheapest. Differences between federal states are smaller than differences between individual stations in the same town, so it is always worth comparing stations close to you.
