  "account": "The new diesel rebate has sparked sharp drops in fuel prices across many regions, prompting many motorists to fill up at the pump. As soon as midnight approached, gasoline and diesel prices plummeted instantly. At the fuel price portal Tankerkönig, the average prices across Germany fell by around 10 to 11 cents between 11:41 PM and 0:41 AM. Early in the morning, the same price difference was observed around the same time on Wednesday. Many gas stations were offering super gasoline, the cheaper E10 blend, for less than two euros, according to the ADAC's portal. However, regional variations exist. In Munich, Stuttgart, and Leipzig, numerous stations offered such discounts. In Berlin, there were many, while in Hamburg, there were few, and in Cologne, no stations displayed prices below two euros in the morning. The nationwide average prices on Tankerkönig, however, remained significantly above two euros. What motorists need to know now. Is rushing to the gas station necessary? Not necessarily. Till noon, the price cannot rise due to the 12 o'clock rule. The cheapest time to refuel is usually late in the afternoon. But just before 12:00, one should not assume that prices will remain low, as around 12:00, prices usually jump sharply due to increased demand.",
  "summary": "Bereits rund um Mitternacht fallen die Benzinpreise stark. E10 ist am frühen Morgen teilweise für weniger als 2 Euro pro Liter zu haben – wie man jetzt geschickt tankt.",
