Not in the EU bulletin (no EU rank) · FSO, Sept 2026

Official monthly average for September 2026 (Swiss Federal Statistical Office; published on 1 October 2026). € = CHF ÷ the European Central Bank average rate of the month (€1 = 0.9430 CHF). The FSO publishes these as averages of the prices collected for the Swiss consumer price index; it advises against reading the difference between two months as a price trend. Percentages are calculated in Swiss francs from the FSO prices. Euro values use each month’s ECB average rate, so a change in euros also includes the movement of the franc.

01 · Across the border

Is fuel cheaper in Germany, France, Italy or Austria than in Switzerland?

The same month on both sides: the official Swiss average for September 2026 (FSO) against each neighbour’s average of the EU bulletins of September 2026, on a 50-litre fill-up.

  • In September 2026, unleaded 95 cost more in Germany than in Switzerland: 2.21 CHF/L€2.345/L against 2.02 CHF/L€2.142/L, 9.58 CHF€10.16 more for 50 litres.
  • In September 2026, unleaded 95 was cheaper than in Switzerland in Austria and Italy.
  • In September 2026, unleaded 95 was also dearer than in Switzerland in France.
  • In September 2026, diesel was cheaper than in Switzerland in Austria, France and Italy.
  • Since then, for Germany only: the EU bulletin of 12 October 2026 gives €2.214/L for unleaded 95 and €2.270/L for diesel (average for September 2026: €2.345/L and €2.412/L). There is no official Swiss figure for the following month yet (it is published at the start of November 2026), so we cannot say whether Germany is still dearer.

Swiss francs at the European Central Bank average rate of September 2026 (€1 = 0.9430 CHF, 22 working days). The neighbours’ averages are the mean of the weekly EU bulletins dated in September 2026; the last column is the latest bulletin (12 October 2026), in euros, for comparison with the next Swiss figure.

Main border crossings: the cheapest station on the other side

For each crossing: the cheapest unleaded 95 and diesel within 10 km (straight line) on the foreign side, with a price reported in the last 72 hours, compared with that country’s national average. Germany: national average only.

The official Swiss average is monthly: the latest is for September 2026, the next is published at the start of November 2026. Swiss pump prices have changed since then, so we do not calculate savings against an old month.

Towards Austria

Compared with the national average in Austria (EU bulletin, 12 Oct 2026): unleaded 95 €1.865/L, diesel €2.162/L.

How to read the chart: the shaded band holds the middle 80% of all months since 1993 (10th to 90th percentile) and the line inside it is the median, both for the prices selected. The percentile counts the earlier months that were strictly cheaper, truncated (not rounded) to one decimal; “record” means that no earlier month was as dear or dearer. Adjusted for inflation: each month × the FSO consumer price index (LIK) for September 2026 ÷ the LIK of that month, so every price is in September 2026 francs; in euros, this adjusted franc price is converted at the ECB average rate of September 2026. A difference smaller than the FSO’s rounding to the centime counts as “at the level of the record”, not as a new record.

National monthly average with all taxes, Swiss Federal Statistical Office (FSO): 405 months, January 1993 – September 2026 (data, free use, source must be cited). Our own calculation.

Methodology
  • Monthly series: national average pump price with all taxes from the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (FSO), average prices for energy and fuels (free use, source must be cited). The FSO series begins in January 1993 (unleaded 98 and diesel in May 1993); the long chart shows it in Swiss francs from 1993 and in euros from January 1999, the first month with a euro exchange rate. Euro values = CHF ÷ the European Central Bank average CHF rate of that month.
  • Fuels: the FSO file covers “Bleifrei 95”, “Bleifrei 98” and “Diesel”, in Swiss francs per litre with VAT and taxes, rounded to the centime; it has no LPG series. The FSO describes these as unpaired averages of the prices collected for the Swiss consumer price index (LIK): a change from one month to the next is not a measure of price development, for which the FSO recommends its price indices.
  • CHF and euros: the FSO publishes prices in Swiss francs; the euro value = CHF ÷ the European Central Bank average CHF rate of that month. The euro series therefore also reflects movements in the franc.
  • EU comparison: Switzerland is not in the EU Weekly Oil Bulletin. For each month we take the average of the weekly bulletin values (European Commission, CC BY 4.0) for every EU country and the EU weighted average, so that both sides cover the same month; the sources and methods still differ.
  • Records: marked on the long chart and in its table of the 10 most expensive months; the first month in which the value was reached is counted.
  • Events: the date given by the linked official source.

Monthly averages with all taxes, September 2026: Switzerland from the FSO, the EU countries as the monthly mean of the weekly EU bulletin. Switzerland: € = CHF ÷ the European Central Bank average rate of Sept 2026 (€1 = 0.9430 CHF).

05 · Taxes in the price

What is in the price?

How the official average pump price for September 2026 breaks down, with the federal tax rates in force today.

Unleaded 95 · 2.02 CHF/L€2.142/L average September 2026

  • Mineral oil tax incl. surcharge (fixed per litre)0.77 CHF/L€0.815/L38.0%
  • VAT (8.1%)0.15 CHF/L€0.161/L7.5%
  • Product, transport, storage, margins and other charges (the rest)1.10 CHF/L€1.167/L54.5%

Diesel · 2.27 CHF/L€2.407/L average September 2026

  • Mineral oil tax incl. surcharge (fixed per litre)0.80 CHF/L€0.844/L35.1%

  • Product, transport, storage, margins and other charges (the rest)1.30 CHF/L€1.383/L57.5%

Mineral oil tax including the surcharge: 76.82 centimes per litre of petrol and 79.57 centimes per litre of diesel (per litre at 15 °C). VAT of 8.1% is charged on the price including the mineral oil tax, so it makes up 8.1/(100 + 8.1) of the pump price. The rest is calculated as price − tax − VAT and also contains smaller charges that we do not break down. Euros at the ECB average rate of the month (€1 = 0.9430 CHF).

Frequently asked questions about fuel prices in Switzerland

What is the petrol price in Switzerland?

According to the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (FSO), the national average price of unleaded 95 in September 2026 was 2.02 Swiss francs per litre (€2.142/L), including all taxes. This is an official monthly average, not a current price at individual petrol stations. The national average for unleaded 95 in September 2026 is higher than in 98.5% of all months since 1993 (nominal, not adjusted for inflation). Last time it was this expensive or more expensive: September 2022.

What is the diesel price in Switzerland?

According to the FSO, the national average price of diesel in September 2026 was 2.27 Swiss francs per litre (€2.407/L), including all taxes. The national average for diesel in September 2026 is higher than in 98.7% of all months since 1993 (nominal, not adjusted for inflation). Last time it was this expensive or more expensive: September 2022.

Is fuel cheaper in Germany or Switzerland?

In Switzerland. In September 2026, unleaded 95 cost €2.345/L (2.21 CHF/L) in Germany and €2.142/L (2.02 CHF/L) in Switzerland: 9.58 CHF (€10.16) more for 50 litres in Germany. In September 2026, diesel cost €2.412/L (2.27 CHF/L) in Germany and €2.407/L (2.27 CHF/L) in Switzerland: 0.22 CHF (€0.24) more for 50 litres in Germany. (Germany: monthly mean of the EU Weekly Oil Bulletin; Switzerland: FSO. Prices at stations near the border can differ: see the border crossings on this page.) Since then, for Germany only: the EU bulletin of 12 October 2026 gives €2.214/L for unleaded 95 and €2.270/L for diesel (average for September 2026: €2.345/L and €2.412/L). There is no official Swiss figure for the following month yet (it is published at the start of November 2026), so we cannot say whether Germany is still dearer.

Is diesel cheaper in France or Switzerland?

In France. In September 2026, diesel cost €2.325/L (2.19 CHF/L) in France and €2.407/L (2.27 CHF/L) in Switzerland: 3.85 CHF (€4.09) less for 50 litres in France. In September 2026, unleaded 95 cost €2.180/L (2.06 CHF/L) in France and €2.142/L (2.02 CHF/L) in Switzerland: 1.78 CHF (€1.88) more for 50 litres in France. (France: monthly mean of the EU Weekly Oil Bulletin; Switzerland: FSO. Prices at stations near the border can differ: see the border crossings on this page.)

Is petrol cheaper in Italy or Switzerland?

In Italy. In September 2026, unleaded 95 cost €2.104/L (1.98 CHF/L) in Italy and €2.142/L (2.02 CHF/L) in Switzerland: 1.80 CHF (€1.90) less for 50 litres in Italy.

(Italy: monthly mean of the EU Weekly Oil Bulletin; Switzerland: FSO. Prices at stations near the border can differ: see the border crossings on this page.)

Is it worth refuelling in Austria, France or Italy?

In September 2026, petrol was cheapest in Austria among the neighbouring countries (€1.922/L, monthly mean of the EU bulletin): a 50-litre fill-up there cost about €11.02 less than in Switzerland. For diesel, Austria was cheapest (€2.205/L, about €10.11 less for 50 L). This page also lists the cheapest station within 10 km of the main crossings into Austria, France and Italy, with the time of each price.

How much fuel can I bring into Switzerland without paying duty?

The fuel in the tank is free of duty and tax, and so are up to 25 litres in a spare canister. Each further litre costs CHF 0.80 customs duty plus 8.1% VAT on its value (Federal Office for Customs and Border Security, checked on 19 October 2026).

Is fuel expensive in Switzerland compared with the EU?

In September 2026, Switzerland ranked 22 of 28 for petrol and 24 of 28 for diesel among the 27 EU countries plus Switzerland (1 = cheapest), using the monthly mean of the weekly EU bulletin for the EU countries. Petrol was 3.2% above the EU weighted average (€2.076/L), and diesel 10.3% above the EU weighted average of €2.183/L. The sources and methods differ, so the ranking is a guide.

What does a full tank cost?

Using the monthly average of September 2026: 50 litres of unleaded 95 cost about 101.00 CHF (€107.11) and 50 litres of diesel about 113.50 CHF (€120.36).

How often are the prices updated?

Once a month: the FSO publishes the previous month’s average at the start of the following month; the figures for September 2026 were published on 1 October 2026. This page checks every hour whether new data are available.
