Why It Matters

Die Bundesregierung hatte einen Tankrabatt von 16,7 Cent pro Liter eingeführt, um Autofahrer angesichts hoher Energiepreise zu entlasten.

Font size

Der Tankrabatt sollte Autofahrer spürbar entlasten. Doch schon wenige Tage nach Beginn der Steuersenkung steigen die Preise an den Zapfsäulen wieder.

Super E10 kostete am Sonntag im bundesweiten Durchschnitt 2,137 Euro je Liter, wie der ADAC mitteilt. Das waren 2,3 Cent mehr als am Donnerstag. Diesel verteuerte sich um 0,9 Cent auf 2,253 Euro.

Der ADAC sieht darin eine Entwicklung, die für Verbraucher schwer nachvollziehbar sei. Ölpreis und Euro-Dollar-Wechselkurs hätten sich zuletzt kaum verändert. Dennoch sei ein Teil der anfänglichen Entlastung durch die Steuersenkung bereits wieder aufgezehrt.

Günstige Angebote werden seltener

Auch günstige Angebote werden immer seltener. Kurz nach Einführung des Tankrabatts war E10 an vielen Tankstellen für weniger als zwei Euro pro Liter erhältlich. Inzwischen sind solche Preise deutlich schwieriger zu finden.

In München bot am Montag beispielsweise nur noch gut jede dritte Tankstelle E10 zumindest vorübergehend unter der Zwei-Euro-Marke an. Am Donnerstag war es noch mehr als jede Zweite.

Wie stark die Steuersenkung von 16,7 Cent je Liter tatsächlich an die Autofahrer weitergegeben wird, bleibt allerdings umstritten. Der Branchenverband En2x betont, seine Mitgliedsunternehmen hätten den Rabatt vollständig weitergegeben. Gleichzeitig verweist der Verband auf zuletzt gestiegene Einkaufspreise für Kraftstoffe am Weltmarkt.

Open Questions

  • Wie lange wird der Tankrabatt noch wirksam sein?
  • Welche Maßnahmen erwägt die Regierung, falls die Preise weiter steigen?
  • In welchem Umfang haben die Mineralölunternehmen den Rabatt tatsächlich an die Zapfsäulen weitergegeben?

Federal government starts privatization process for state gas company Sefe

The federal government has initiated the process for the possible privatization of the state gas company Sefe. The Ministry of Economic Affairs has published a call for tenders for legal consulting services on reprivatization; law firms can apply until October 27th. Among other things, Sefe operates the largest German gas storage facility and is a central player in the German gas supply. The nationalization took place in 2022 after the failure of the Russian supplier Gazprom, and the federal government is now planning to return the majority to Sefe by the end of 2028 due to EU requirements. The company's value is estimated at around six billion euros.

Fuel prices are rising despite fuel discounts – ADAC warns of melting relief

Just a few days after the reintroduction of the fuel discount, fuel prices are again above the level at the start of the tax cut. According to ADAC, a liter of Super E10 cost an average of 2.137 euros nationwide on Sunday - 2.3 cents more than at the start of the measure. The price of diesel rose to 2.253 euros per liter, an increase of 0.9 cents. The ADAC explains that although the energy tax cut led to a significant drop in prices, the relief is already disappearing again. There is currently no obvious explanation for the price increase for Super E10, as the oil price and exchange rate have hardly changed.

DAX hardly changed despite falling oil prices and weak euro

The German stock market started the new week almost unchanged, although the US Federal Reserve Bank is unlikely to raise interest rates in October and oil prices have fallen slightly. The DAX rose 0.1 percent to 25,254 points, while the euro fell below $1.12 for the first time since May 2025. Political uncertainty in Europe and the USA is weighing on sentiment, while weaker US labor market data has dampened interest rate concerns somewhat. The consumer climate index also fell before the Christmas shopping season, while defense stocks benefited from a new aid package for Ukraine.
