Weekend, vacation time – and finally good news once more!
Die fuel prices tumble! Gasoline in particular is relaxing – following the price horror in spring 2022 (E10 for up to 2.19 euros in the national average), prices are now falling below the level before the start of Putin’s war once morest Ukraine for the first time during the holidays!
The average price for Super E10 in the 100 largest cities in Germany was 1.738 euros per liter at 6 p.m. yesterday (source: “Clever Tanken”) – the liter was so cheap on February 11th. A liter of Super was also a pleasing EUR 1.796 yesterday.
Trend: stable! At 12 noon today, the average petrol price for a liter of Super E10 was 1.740 euros, for a liter of Super 1.798 euros (source: “Benzinpreis aktuell”).
A current ADAC evaluation (as of July 20th) showed that petrol prices are falling overall. A liter of Super E10 was 3.7 cents cheaper this week on average nationwide compared to the previous week.
Absolute fuel price hammer in Berlin (as of today 12 noon): Here a liter of Super E10 currently only costs 1.609 at some gas stations! Low price in Bavaria in the meantime: 1.719 (Super E10).
Pleasing: The summer holidays officially start in three federal states on Monday – and prices are falling here too. E10 refueling is cheapest in these cities (as of 11 a.m.):
- Kaiserslautern (Rhineland-Palatinate): 1,668
- Offenbach (Hessen): 1,708
- Saarbrücken (Saarland): 1,74
For comparison: Recently, the price of petrol was sometimes over two euros! He comes Fuel discount so extensively in the wallets of the citizens?
Calculations by the Ifo Institute revealed two weeks ago that the tank discount was essentially passed on to customers. “In the case of diesel, the filling stations passed it on 100 percent, i.e. a tax reduction of 17 cents per liter. In the case of super petrol, it was 29 to 30 cents from the 35 cent tax reduction, i.e. 85 percent,” says Florian Neumeier from the Ifo Institute.
According to the ADAC, the lower fuel prices are partly due to the slightly stronger euro. ADAC also has high hopes for the market investigation by the Federal Cartel Office, which, according to the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, has already found initial indications of recently significantly larger profit margins.
Diesel largely unchanged
The situation remains critical, especially for diesel drivers. There was no noticeable price relaxation here. For a liter you still have to pay an average of 1.977 euros at German petrol stations – just as much as last week.
The ADAC therefore still recommends that motorists fill up on a price-conscious basis and find out regarding the current prices in the immediate vicinity before driving to the petrol station. The price differences between different providers can be up to seven cents.
Another tip: If you fill up in the evening, you can save up to 16 cents per liter compared to the morning hours, according to the latest ADAC evaluations.
Nationwide differences
There are also big differences in fuel prices nationwide. While drivers in Saarland can look forward to comparatively low prices for petrol and diesel, in Bremen and Bavaria you have to dig deeper into your pockets when paying.
▶︎ On July 19, the ADAC compared the fuel prices in all 16 federal states. Result: A liter of Super E10 cost the most in Bremen at 1.828 euros – closely followed by Bavaria with an average price of 1.826 euros.
▶︎ On the other hand, petrol was cheapest in Saarland: Here you had to pay 1.727 euros for a liter of Super E10, which was 10.1 cents less than in Bremen.
▶︎ The most expensive federal state for diesel drivers at the time of the evaluation was Bavaria. A liter of diesel cost 2.003 euros here. The second most expensive federal state was Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with a price of 1.979 euros. Saarland was also the cheapest for diesel. A liter cost 1.929 euros in the smallest area, 7.4 cents less than in Bavaria.
