Autokosten: Spritpreise sinken - E10 im Tagesschnitt unter 2 Euro
Vor allem Benzin hat sich in den letzten Tagen stark verbilligt. Der Preisabstand zu Diesel wird allerdings immer größer.
In Munich, E10 gasoline is once again being sold for less than 2 euros per liter, according to the ADAC. On Sunday, the nationwide average price was 1.996 euros per liter, a 7.6 cent decrease from the previous week. Diesel prices also dropped slightly, by 4.1 cents to 2.241 euros per liter. However, both fuels were slightly more expensive than on Saturday.
An early trend reversal is not yet evident, as Monday morning figures from Tankerkönig portal suggest a slight downward movement. Oil prices, which started lower on Monday, also indicate a possible price drop. The E10 price has been declining over the past month, falling to 2.140 euros per liter on October 8th, about 14 cents higher than Sunday's average.
Diesel prices have remained relatively stable, at 2.242 euros per liter, making it 24.5 cents more expensive than E10. This price difference is one of the highest on record. Only in April and during the 2022 first fuel discount did the gap between diesel and E10 widen temporarily. The current fuel discount cuts taxes on both fuels by about 17 cents per liter.
Diesel is taxed less than gasoline, making it cheaper under normal circumstances. E10 is usually cheaper than diesel by around 15 cents, but diesel is more vulnerable to crises due to Germany importing more refined fuel. Prices can vary significantly by region and time of day, with the most favorable tanking times being later in the morning, after the 12-hour rule was introduced.
On Monday morning, it was possible to find fuel at many locations for just over 1.80 euros per liter, with some even cheaper than 1.80.
