Fuel prices are rising slightly again after the energy tax was cut

One day after the energy tax was cut, fuel prices rose slightly again. According to the ADAC, Super E10 cost an average of 2,098 euros per liter nationwide at 8 a.m. on Friday. That was 3.6 cents more than the same time Thursday. Diesel prices rose by 3.9 cents to 2.248 euros.

This means that the relief was less compared to the morning of September 30th. E10 was 10.9 cents cheaper, diesel 11.3 cents. On the first day of the fuel discount, prices had fallen even more significantly: at 8 a.m., the ADAC had calculated declines of 14.5 cents for E10 and 15.2 cents for diesel compared to the previous day.

The daily average prices on Thursday were 2,114 euros for E10 and 2,262 euros for diesel. They were around 13 cents lower than the day before.

ADAC: More scope for lower prices

From the ADAC's perspective, the energy tax reduction is still not fully reflected in the current prices. “There is still scope for lower fuel prices,” said the automobile club. The tax reduction as a result of the fuel rebate amounts to 16.7 cents per liter for fuels that have left the tank farms and refineries since October 1st.

There has been no recent significant price increase on the oil market. The price for a barrel of Brent was around $99.34 on Friday morning. On Thursday, the price of oil temporarily fell to $96.55, but then rose again to over $100.
