Spritpreise: „Es wird abkassiert“ – Tankstellenverband hält Benzinpreise von drei Euro pro Liter für möglich
Mit den steigenden Ölpreisen werden auch Benzin und Diesel an der Tankstelle immer teurer. Besonders in Ostdeutschland steigen die Preise deutlich.
In Düsseldorf and Berlin, the cost of filling up a vehicle is rapidly increasing. Over the weekend, the price for regular unleaded petrol (E10) surged to a new record high, reaching an average of 2.273 euros per liter across the country on Sunday. This is 1.7 cents higher than on Friday. Diesel prices even rose by 3.5 cents, with a liter costing 2.404 euros on Sunday, just 4.3 cents away from its April record high.
In the past two weeks, fuel prices have significantly risen. As of August 30th, E10 was 12 cents cheaper than on Sunday, while diesel was 20 cents cheaper. Experts believe the trend may continue negatively, as oil prices have increased following bad news from the Middle East at the start of the week. Meanwhile, the Tank Station Association (TIV) claims that prices of three euros per liter could become a reality.
Herbert Rabl, a representative from the Tank Station Interests Association (TIV), stated, "We will have to deal with the fact that we will have to pay three euros for fuel." The expert criticized the actions of the oil corporations, saying, "It's a cash register situation, and the station operators are also suffering from high prices."
