Diesel: Fuel discount starts with rapidly falling prices – what you need to know
Already around midnight, petrol prices are dropping sharply. As of early morning, E10 is available in some places for less than two euros per litre - here's how to fill up cleverly now.
The fuel rebate has led to sharp drops in petrol and diesel prices across many areas since midnight. Prices on the fuel price website Tankerkönig plummeted between 11:41 p.m. and 12:41 a.m., dropping by about 10 to 11 cents. Similarly, around the same time on Wednesday, super petrol (E10) was offered for less than two euros at many gas stations, according to the ADAC's website.
However, there are regional differences. In Munich, Stuttgart, and Leipzig, there were numerous offers, while in Berlin, there were many, and in Cologne, no gas stations displayed prices under two euros in the morning. The nationwide average prices on Tankerkönig were significantly above two euros. What drivers need to know now.
Rushing to the gas station is not necessary. Prices cannot rise until noon. The cheapest time to refuel is typically in the late afternoon. However, it is not advisable to calculate the cost just before 12 p.m. if there is a large crowd, as prices usually jump sharply at 12 p.m.
