Every European border, ranked by the gap

72 land crossings where we price both sides. Biggest petrol difference first — each page shows the saving on a 50-litre tank, how far a detour can be before it stops being worth it, and how much of the gap is tax rather than fuel.

Frequently asked questions

Is gas cheaper in the US than in Europe?

Almost always yes — US pump prices carry far lower fuel taxes. Pick United States vs any EU country above to see this week's exact gap per litre, per gallon and per 50L tank.

Why is the comparison shown in euros per litre?

To compare markets fairly, both sides are normalized to the same unit and currency using ECB reference rates — with $/L and $/gal always shown alongside.

Can I compare two US states?

Yes — the selectors include the US average and every state the EIA publishes weekly (California, Texas, New York, Florida and more).
