Where to refuel
- From Poland most drivers take the S61 (Via Baltica) through the Budzisko – Kalvarija crossing or the Ogrodniki – Lazdijai crossing. The last large Polish stations are around Suwałki.
- If Poland is cheaper, fill up in Suwałki – a full tank covers Vilnius and the way back to the border.
- Stations on the main roads are often above the national average, in Lithuania too.
