  "account": "In many places, the fuel discount has triggered a sharp drop in petrol and diesel prices, with Germany-wide average prices falling by around 10 to 11 cents between midnight and 0.41 a.m. Super petrol E10 was even offered for less than 2 Euros in many locations, according to the ADAC portal. However, regional differences exist, with Munich, Stuttgart, and Leipzig seeing many offers, while Berlin had numerous offers and Hamburg only a few. No tank stations displayed prices under 2 Euros in Cologne in the morning. The nationwide average prices on Tankerkönig, however, remained above 2 Euros. Since midnight, a 16.7 cent per liter tax cut has been in effect for petrol and diesel as it leaves depots and refineries. It remains to be seen how this is passed on to consumers in the coming days, as there is no direct obligation for stations to lower prices, and calculations are complex. Prices had already dropped on Tuesday and Wednesday. The previous fuel discount was controversial about how fully it was passed on. Even then, a significant decrease had been seen mid-night. September was by far the most expensive fuel month ever. The measure is controversial, with critics pointing out its inaccuracy, dampening the incentive to save fuel and its non-complete delivery to consumers. The mineral oil industry counters that there is no better way to relieve drivers right now. Supporters refer to it as the only current option to relieve drivers.",
