Price comparison: Where is the cheapest place for Hanover drivers to fill up today?

Today, August 10, 2025, the issue of fuel prices is once again the focus of attention for drivers in the Hanover region. As the Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung reported, the prices for gasoline (E5, E10) and diesel at the various gas stations in and around Hanover have moved a bit again. A look at the updated map shows that the cost situation varies from gas station to gas station and the average price level in Lower Saxony is often higher than in neighboring countries such as Austria and the Czech Republic.

Particular attention is paid to price changes: Drivers in Hanover should know that operators are legally obliged to report price changes for Super E5, Super E10 and diesel to the Federal Cartel Office's Fuel Market Transparency Office within five minutes. The Website ich-tanke.de lists current prices and explains that despite this system, no guarantee is given that the data is up-to-date and correct.

Price trends and influences

Fuel prices are constantly changing and often follow seasonal trends. Prices tend to rise, especially in the summer months. This is due, among other things, to the crude oil prices on the world market and the euro-dollar exchange rate. Political decisions, such as the fuel discount in summer 2022, have also left their mark. In addition, the Market Transparency Office points out that the tax portion accounts for over half of the total price of gasoline and diesel, which has a significant impact on the overall burden on drivers.

Another interesting detail is that prices usually rise from early morning and peak between 7 and 8 am. If you want to get the cheapest prices, you would do well to fill up between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. Drivers have to expect a surcharge, especially at motorway filling stations - on average they pay 42 cents more for E10 and 36 cents more for diesel.

Conclusion for those refueling in Hanover

Anyone who fills up in Hanover should be aware of the price dynamics. Whether for business or pleasure, it makes a big difference when and where you refuel. The information from the Market Transparency Office can be particularly helpful in getting an overview of the latest fuel prices. Drivers can not only find out more via apps, but also use the daily updates on the websites to optimally adapt their fueling habits in order to get a good deal. Being aware of the different prices and the best times to refuel can save many euros.
