Diesel commuters: save up to €624 a year on fuel
At 2 commutes per week, a consistent 12 c/L diesel saving on 50-litre fills adds up to €624 a year — without changing your route, just your stop. This guide shows the compounding effect across different fill frequencies and price gaps.
Decision question
How much can a repeat commuter save when the same better stop is used consistently?
What Kilomo should compare
- At 2 fills/week × 50 litres × 12 c/L gap: €6/fill × 104 fills = €624/year — equivalent to roughly 350 litres of free diesel.
- Frequency multiplies savings directly: going from 1 to 3 commute days per week triples the annual saving with zero extra effort per stop.
- Diesel carries the largest France–Luxembourg price gap, often 2–5 c/L wider than E10 — diesel commuters benefit more from the regulated ceiling than petrol drivers.
- Station reliability at peak commute hours matters more than marginal price: a station that is consistently queue-free at 7:30 am weekdays is often worth more than a slightly cheaper one that backs up on Mondays.
