Guides

Make a more informed fuel stop: compare prices, weigh up detours and understand how recently the data was updated.

• Find cheap petrol near you in Italy↗

  Choose petrol, search around your location or an address, then compare the same fuel and service type. Check the station’s reporting date and the journey before choosing the lowest displayed price.

• Find cheap diesel near you in Italy↗

  Select diesel and compare nearby stations using the same fuel and service type. For a larger refill, consider the total price difference alongside the distance and time needed to reach the station.

• Find LPG stations and compare prices↗

  In Italy, LPG is labelled GPL. Select it explicitly, compare the reported price and service type, and check that your chosen station can actually provide the fuel when you plan to arrive.

• Find CNG stations and compare prices↗

  Search for the correct metano fuel for your vehicle, compare CNG prices per kilogram and check the station’s reporting date. A station listing or price does not confirm opening hours or current dispensing availability.

• Is it worth leaving the motorway to refuel?↗

  Leaving the motorway can make sense when the saving on your planned fill exceeds the extra driving cost and any toll difference, and the stop fits your schedule. Compare actual station options rather than assuming an exit always pays.

• Find cheaper fuel along your route↗

  Enter your start, destination and planned stops, then compare stations along the route by suitable fuel, reported price and extra driving. Smart Trip can help weigh the options within your account’s monthly allowance.

• Self-service versus attended fuel prices↗

  Self means you fill the vehicle yourself; servito means an attendant does it. Compare the price for the service you intend to use, because the same station can report different prices for each.

• Is cheaper fuel worth the extra drive?↗

  Multiply the price difference by the quantity you plan to buy, then subtract the fuel cost of the extra drive. Consider any toll difference and the time you will spend before choosing a more distant station.

• Understanding fuel prices and MIMIT updates↗

  PienoGo imports official MIMIT data daily, but each price retains its own station reporting date. A fresh import does not mean every station updated today, and the guide itself is not a live price feed.

• Track fuel prices and receive change alerts↗

  Sign in, save useful stations as favourites and enable optional email alerts in your profile. Alerts concern price changes, including increases, and help you know when to compare again rather than guaranteeing a lower price.
