Mobilitätskosten: Spritpreis übers Wochenende gesunken
Nach den Rekorden der vergangenen Woche ist Tanken wieder etwas billiger geworden. Inzwischen stagniert der Preis aber.
Last weekend's record high fuel prices have dipped over the weekend, according to the ADAC. On average, a liter of Super E10 cost 2.279 euros, while diesel was 2.446 euros nationwide, a drop of 3.5 cents for E10 and 2.5 cents for diesel since their record highs last Wednesday and Thursday. The decline was largely observed on Friday and Saturday, with diesel prices even slightly increasing on Sunday.
Preliminary data from the "Tankerkönig" fuel price portal on Monday showed little movement, with diesel and gasoline prices slightly higher than the previous day at 9 a.m. However, fuel prices fell for the fourth consecutive trading day on Monday morning. The drop in oil prices contributed to the favorable signals for motorists, with oil prices falling for the fourth day in a row on Monday.
Oil prices are generally the main driver of changes in fuel prices, along with transport and refinery capacities. The diesel price is also more volatile due to its crisis-sensitive nature, making it more expensive than gasoline despite lower taxes. Regional and station-to-station variations cause significant fluctuations in fuel prices, with some regions offering E10 for less than 2.20 euros on Monday morning.
The federal and state governments have agreed on a new fuel rebate from October to December, reducing the energy tax on gasoline and diesel by 14 cents per liter, which, combined with the value-added tax, represents a savings of nearly 17 cents per liter. A fuel price cap is planned to take effect from January 2027, but it is intended as a crisis measure, not a permanent solution. Economists view the fuel rebate critically.
