Fueling getting more expensive: High petrol prices: Coalition negotiates new fuel discount
When will something be done about the high fuel prices? While prices are rising, negotiations are taking place in the federal government. Everyone is promising a quick solution - but what could it look like?
The German government is discussing a package of measures to alleviate the burden of high fuel prices, including a new fuel discount and a price cap. The negotiations, which also involve the states, are ongoing, with the aim of introducing the measures as soon as possible. The fuel tax could be reduced by 17 cents per liter until the end of 2026, and a price cap could be introduced from January 2027, based on the actual development of the oil price.
The plans are being discussed ahead of state elections in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Berlin on Sunday.
