Driving

Luxembourg is the fuel stop of the region and that is not an accident. Excise duty from 1 July 2026 is 526.38 euros per 1,000 litres on unleaded petrol and 421.87 on automotive diesel, and VAT is 17 per cent. The result at the pump on 14 September 2026 was diesel at 2.123 euros a litre against 2.426 in Germany, and petrol at 1.793 against 2.357. The country has no refinery, so all of it arrives by pipeline and tanker from the neighbours it undercuts.

Why the fuel is cheap

Excise duty from 1 July 2026: €526.3796 per 1,000 litres on unleaded petrol at 10 mg/kg sulphur or less, and €421.8650 on automotive diesel at the same specification. Those are the Administration des douanes et accises's own published figures.
VAT is 17 per cent, applied on top of that duty.

Which limit applies to a big motorhome

The Ministry of Mobility's table gives 75 and 90 km/h for camions, autobus et autocars, lorries, buses and coaches.
It does not say whether a motor caravan over 3.5 tonnes counts as a camion for this purpose.

The Code de la route makes it an offence to drive at a speed that is dangerous in the circumstances, whatever the posted limit says. In practice that matters most on the twisting valley roads of the Éislek and the Mullerthal, where 90 is the number on the sign and not the number you should be doing.
