Why It Matters
The federal government has introduced a fuel discount to reduce fuel costs for consumers.
Four days after the introduction of the fuel discount, fuel prices in Germany rose slightly again. According to the ADAC, a liter of Super E10 cost a nationwide daily average of 2.137 euros on Sunday. That was 2.3 cents more than when the discount started on October 1st. According to the information, the price for diesel was 2.253 euros per liter - an increase of 0.9 cents.
“This means that part of the initial relief effect was partially offset within just a few days,” said the ADAC. "Although the energy tax cut led to a significant drop in fuel prices, the relief is already disappearing again."
There is currently no obvious explanation for the development of the Super E10, as the oil price and the euro-dollar exchange rate have changed little, the automobile club said. From a consumer perspective, the renewed price increase is “hard to understand.”
