How to avoid overpaying for fuel

During travels, drivers often pay more for fuel than the average. Experts from the ADAC automobile club found that prices at gas stations near highways can be higher than those at stations off the roads. It's also worth remembering that in some countries, prices may be higher at night, which is a way of charging extra for service.

For example, in Italy, many foreigners overpay for fuel at service stations where employees fill up their cars.
