Fuel discount in effect: Fuel prices fell significantly after midnight

The new, billion-dollar fuel discount has been in effect since midnight. The price of gasoline and diesel is expected to fall by 16.7 cents per liter until the end of the year. But whether the gas stations pass on the price reduction in full is up to them - they are not obliged to do so. Now data from the fuel price portal Tankerkönig shows after the first few hours: The price dropped significantly when the fuel discount came into effect.

The ADAC determined a price drop of 14.5 cents for Super E10 at 8 a.m. this morning compared to Wednesday morning. Diesel cost an average of 15.2 cents less than 24 hours earlier. “This means that a large part of the tax relief of around 17 cents has already been passed on to consumers,” says the transport club, assessing the current prices.
