Is it cheaper to refuel in Italy or in Switzerland?

Diesel price source and comparison method
The diesel average and range cover only sampled stations in Lugano. Stations appearing for several municipalities are counted once. The TCS radar collects user-reported prices: it is not a federal registry and does not guarantee full coverage or that a price remains valid at the pump. Collection time is when we read the source, not when the operator changed its price. The current diesel average uses available diesel prices only, without deriving them from petrol. History stores daily snapshots; a gap does not mean prices stayed unchanged. Compare the same fuel and consider the actual distance from your route before choosing a station. TCS Benzinpreis
Diesel fill-up calculation example, not a spending forecast
Assuming a 50-litre fill at the displayed average of 2.320 CHF/l, the cost is CHF 116.00. Actual cost depends on the selected station and litres dispensed. An Italian comparison needs the same fuel and a dated CHF/EUR exchange rate. Subtract detour fuel and other travel costs from gross savings. There is no universal break-even threshold for every journey.
