An analysis by Independer shows that you spend the least money on industrial estates and between office flats for a full tank of petrol. According to the comparison site, the difference between refueling along the highway and at an unmanned pump has never been greater.
Motorists are paying record prices for gasoline. A liter of Euro95 quickly costs 2.15 euros. According to experts, the price could rise even further. It is striking that the difference between refueling along the highway and at an unmanned pump has become much greater over the years. In 2006 the difference was still eight cents for a liter of Euro95. That has now risen to 18 cents. More than twice as many, according to data from Statistics Netherlands and Petrolview.
Why is refueling along the highway so much more expensive? According to Joyce Donat of the Consumers’ Association, it has to do with ease of use and necessity. ,,We have never investigated the big difference between refueling along the highway and at an unmanned pump, but service at petrol stations along the highway has increased enormously in recent years. Because of all the personnel that is needed for this, the petrol is more expensive than with an unmanned pump.”
According to Donat, the fact that people continue to refuel along the highway is partly because many motorists have no choice. “If your tank is empty, or if you don’t have an unmanned pump in your village, you almost have to. Motorists with a company fuel card will also have less difficulty with the price difference.”
Cheapest refuel
Due to the large price difference, there is in any case a lot of money to be saved, Menno Dijcks, Independer’s car expert, calculates. “Suppose you drive 28,000 kilometers per year with a consumption of 1 in 14. Then you save 360 euros on those 2000 liters. For diesel, the difference has already risen to 16 cents per liter and for LPG to 10 cents.” According to Dijcks, you can save even more by looking for the cheapest pump in your area. the lowest prices are mainly located in areas where mainly offices and companies are located.
