  "account": "Düsseldorf – September will be the most expensive tank month on record, according to data from ADAC analyzed by Deutsche Presse-Agentur. Even if fuel and diesel were given away for free on the final day of the month, the monthly average would still exceed the previous August and April records. If prices remain steady at month-end, expect premium unleaded E10 to cost around 2.27 euros and diesel between 2.38 and 2.39 euros. Current records for E10 stand at 2.145 euros and diesel at 2.263 euros, more than 10 cents lower. The main reason for the high prices is the Iran war, severely limiting oil exports from the Gulf region. Additionally, a shortage of refinery capacity is also contributing to the issue. Starting on Thursday, expect a new fuel rebate that will cut the tax burden per liter of gasoline or diesel by nearly 17 cents.",
  "summary": "Der September wird zum Rekordmonat an Tankstellen. Benzin und Diesel waren noch nie so teuer. Haupttreiber sind der Irankrieg und knappe Raffineriekapazitäten.",
