Mobilitätskosten: Spritpreise schon vor Rabatt im Sinkflug
Der Tankrabatt startet um Mitternacht - die Spritpreise geben schon vorher nach.
Mobility costs are seeing a rapid decline in fuel prices, even before the rebate kicks in, according to the latest data from ADAC. As early as 10:00 AM on Wednesday, Super E10 was 4.2 cents cheaper than it was at the same time on Tuesday, while diesel dropped 3.9 cents. Just before the price drop at midday, gasoline and diesel were reportedly about 5 cents cheaper than they were 24 hours prior.
The midday price surge on Wednesday was slightly higher than the previous lows. Tuesday already saw a decline in prices across the country, with one liter of E10 costing 2.258 euros, which is 1.8 cents less than on Monday. Diesel prices fell by 1.6 cents, reaching 2.409 euros per liter.
The decline is expected to continue at midnight when the tax reduction of 16.7 cents per liter takes effect, as fuel depots and refineries no longer have to bear this cost. The Fuel and Energy Association (en2x) anticipates that the rebate will be fully passed on to consumers as soon as midnight. The reasons behind the noticeable price drop at fuel pumps are not yet clear, according to ADAC.
"Entanglement in the recent relaxation of international oil markets is likely to play a role," they say. "Additionally, fuel prices have recently reached an unusually high level."
The development of fuel prices shows that there is definitely room for further discounts given the very high current price level.
