toll Why Highway Fuel Costs More

Motorway and highway service stations across Europe consistently charge a premium compared to city or town fuel stations. This "highway premium" is well-documented and affects millions of drivers daily.

landscape
Land & Concession Costs

Highway stations pay premium rates for strategic motorway locations and government concession fees.

schedule
24/7 Operations

Mandatory round-the-clock service requires additional staffing, security, and operational costs.

groups
Captive Market

Limited competition and traveler convenience allows for higher pricing—drivers often won't detour to find cheaper fuel.

map Regional Variations

🇮🇹
Italy (Autogrill)

Italian highway "Autogrill" stations charge €0.15–0.25 more per liter than local stations. A detour of just 5km off the autostrada can save significant money on a full tank.

🇬🇷
Greece

Price differences of up to 25% have been observed between highway stations and those just 5km into town—among the highest in Europe.

Money-Saving Tip: Plan your refueling stops before hitting the highway. Apps like Google Maps show fuel prices along your route. Filling up at supermarket stations or town centers before entering motorways can save €5-15 per tank.
