Whether you are an expat living in Germany or planning to spend some time as a tourist traveling by rental car, you might want to consider filling up your tank on certain days of the week.

Based on the latest issue of the German ADAC, gas prices vary according to certain weekdays. Here are the results from the ADAC’s analysis for 2009.

The best days for buying reasonably priced gas are Sundays and Mondays.

Average gas prices are charged on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

The highest price is charged for gas on Wednesdays and Fridays.

The same result applies also to the purchase of Diesel.

These suggested days may vary slightly as the location and political situation should be considered as well.  Occasionally, I have noticed higher-than-average gas prices on Mondays.
