What’s around the bend

Site traffic at Benzinpriser.io has gone bananas! But so have fuel prices…

Here’s what’s coming up this quarter here on benzinpriser.io:

  • Turn on historical data for Stations (updates once per day at 10am – 11am)
  • Add a “Report an issue” button and feedback to all pages to collect reports and action them faster
  • Add pages for the regions and cities of Denmark for more relevant retail fuel pricing information
  • Smart site search to redirect exact Station, Fuel type and City searches to their dedicated page
  • Add a Map to the Frontpage of Danish cities with heatmap pricing
  • Add a currency toggle between DKK and EUR (Moin! guests from Germany!)
  • Add more Station information and filtering options (e.g. carwash, unattended, MobilePay, pay in EUR)
  • Add Stations to Hornslyd Købmandsgaard (no pricing information available, pending rebrand to Shell)
  • Reach out to fuel providers on scheduling of discounted station prices

As always, what would you like to see on benzinpriser.io? Drop a comment below.

Filling up at Go’on tomorrow?

Mobile looks terrible… let’s fix that!

Yeah it’s bad, I know.

I’ll be cleaning up the mobile view of the Fuel type and Brands template this week. Tables need to stack on mobile and price tabs are all over the place. I’m on it.

If you’ve found something along the way that needs some TLC please drop a comment.

Station prices are online!

All 2,078 fuel stations in Denmark – with the exception of Hornsyld Købmandsgaard – now have their petrol and diesel prices listed here on benzinpriser.io! Hurra!

I’ll be going through and applying filtering rules to remove fuel prices older than a week and adding notices to fuel stations that are EV only (e.g. Shell Recharge City) as we are not publishing EV charging rates at this time. Stations that haven’t updated their pricing in more than 30 days will be marked as closed.

Station prices refresh hourly. Brand and fuel type summaries refresh once a day at 10am. Here are the exceptions:

  • OIL! publish their prices once a day at 11am.
  • Circle K and INGO refreshes once a day as it takes up to 3 hours to  process their station prices.
  • Hornsyld Købmandsgaard is pending a rebrand to Shell so does not have fuel pricing information.

(*) To Circle K, please let us know when a new endpoint is available for bulk downloading of station prices at Circle K and INGO stations.

(*) To Hornsyld Købmandsgaard, if you would like to list your station fuel prices in the interim please get in touch. We can consume an API, PDF or Excel formatted document and share it on to other fuel Apps and websites.

900 site visitors in December!

The Danish fuel price API announcement tracker

From January 1, 2026 fuel providers in Denmark must offer an API to access their current fuel prices. I’ll update this post as each fuel provider announces their API with links to sign up and developer documentation.

Fuel providers above are initially ordered at random. The first providers to announce their API’s will float to the top.

Did I miss any? If you spot a new API announcement from a fuel provider in Denmark that’s not mentioned here please drop a comment below.

 

Exciting news! Retail fuel price API’s coming online from Jan 1 2026!

Alright, now we’ve got the details of what’s coming in January! From January 1, 2026 all fuel providers in Denmark are required create and maintain their own publicly available API that app and web developers can access that lists all fuel stations that sell gasoline or diesel products, along with offered fuel types, current fuel prices and the date of last update.

The fuel stations current prices must be listed for each location with annual sales of 250 m3 of motor gasoline and diesel, this may mean  that smaller stations will not be included in in this dataset. Also if the fuel provider doesn’t have a website then they can skip out.

Danish Competition and Consumer Authority (Konkurrence- og Forbrugerstyrelsen) are the responsible authority under the Ministry of Ministry of Industry and Trade (Erhvervsministeriet).

What’s coming around the corner?

I expect fuel providers to begin outreach in the new year to app and web developers related to fuel prices who will consume this data, as of the 19th of December it’s still radio silence in my Inbox. Get in touch.

Fuel providers in Denmark typically have their own apps too, they’ll all be getting an overhaul with current price information to advertise their own stations.

The petrol station data blackout starts today.

The data blackout on petrol stations publishing their recommended retail price (RRP) has begun, we’ll be back online January 1st with – fingers crossed – better data!

The ruling from Erhvervsministeriet (Ministry of Business and Industry: Home) prohibits petrol and diesel companies from publishing recommended prices (RRP) for petrol, diesel and AdBlue products; electric charging seems to be unaffected.

The intention is to encourage competition between individual petrol stations as it has been too easy for petrol and diesel companies to monitor and adjust each other’s pump prices to follow published recommended prices but this data blackout has the unintended consequence of impacting all public websites and apps that also monitor and share recommended prices with motorists; like us, fuelfinder.dk and benzinpriser.dk!

Until January 1st we’re in a bit of a bind…

What would we like to see?

As a retail fuel price monitoring platform we’d love to know in real-time the actual pump price at all petrol stations, not just the recommended retail price that most stations use. OIL! and Go’on do this with published daily prices, will the others follow?

With real-time retail fuel price data we can confidently show pump prises at all petrol stations in Denmark, whether it’s your local Q8 and Circle K in Brabrand or out on the motorway to Copenhagen or Hamburg. We can also identify trends of the cheapest and most expensive petrol stations to help motorists save at the pump.

Stay tuned for more updates during this data blackout month as more information is published by Erhvervsministeriet and Konkurrence- og Forbrugerstyrelsen.
