Mobility costs: Fuel discount launched
For three months, the federal government is reducing fuel taxes. How much of it is passed on in full remains to be seen.
A second fuel discount came into effect at midnight, reducing energy taxes by 16.7 cents per liter of gasoline or diesel for three months. The discount applies to fuel that left storage tanks or refineries at or after midnight. The German Economics Association Fuels and Energy (en2x) announced that the discount would be passed on to consumers immediately, but the ADAC automobile association was more skeptical.
The German government introduced the discount in response to high fuel prices, which reached a record high in September.
