Denmark is a compact Northern European country with excellent infrastructure to keep the population mobile. Familiar gas station brand names like Shell, Circle K, or Uno X make fueling up on petrol convenient.
Gas costs more in Denmark. Being aware of current market prices is a prudent way to save.
Gas stations in Denmark are called petrol stations (Tankstations). While most petrol pumps function similarly, a few tips can get you on the road safely and quickly.
Gas Stations
Danish petrol stations provide quality gasoline and bioethanol blends. There are many 24-hour stations to serve you. Major highways have limited gas station access, and 75% of filling stations are without staff.
