Car: Ifo: Fuel discount works for petrol, but only partially for diesel
17 cents less tax per liter of fuel is supposed to ease the burden on motorists in Germany. But do the oil companies pass on the tank discount? The Ifo has recalculated.
The German government's new fuel discount has been largely passed on to drivers for petrol, but only partially for diesel, according to data from the Ifo Institute in Munich. The tax cut of 17 cents per liter was almost fully reflected in prices for Superbenzin, Super E10, and Super E5. However, for diesel, only around 14 cents of the 17-cent discount was passed on to drivers.
This is similar to the experience of the previous fuel discount in May and June, and has resulted in cumulative gaps in the discount of around 16 cents for E5 and 14 cents for diesel and E10 since its introduction on October 1.
