High fuel prices: petrol prices remain high - calls for a fuel price cap
The price of oil has risen sharply, and petrol and diesel have also become more expensive. Within the SPD, calls for the state to limit fuel prices are growing louder. However, there are also other voices.
Germany's fuel prices have surged due to ongoing uncertainty in the Middle East. On Saturday, the national average price for E10 petrol was €2.27 per liter and €2.40 for diesel, with regional prices often significantly higher. The price jump was fueled by reports that Saudi Arabia had shut down a major pipeline after attacks, which could further reduce oil exports and drive up prices.
Talks between Iran and Gulf states are set to take place on Monday, and Brandenburg's Minister-President Dietmar Woidke has called for a fuel price cap, citing examples from neighboring countries.
