Ukraine is cheaper for petrol 95 — €1.78 per litre against €1.89 in Slovakia, a difference of €0.11 per litre (5.6%). On a 50-litre tank that is €5.30 saved.
How much do I save filling up in Ukraine?

Is the cheaper country the same for diesel?
No — and this is easy to get wrong. Ukraine wins on petrol, but Slovakia is cheaper for diesel at €1.95 against €2.01. The two fuels carry different duty rates, so they do not have to move together.
How current are these prices?
Both sides are 2026-10-19 national averages including all duties and taxes — European Commission, DG Energy — Weekly Oil Bulletin for Slovakia and OpenVan.camp — European fuel price aggregation for Ukraine. Individual stations vary around the average, and forecourts right at a border crossing routinely price above it precisely because they can.
