Price explosion after tank discount: ADAC denounces gas station operators
It has become more expensive again at Germany’s petrol pumps: According to a recent ADAC evaluation, the end of the tank discount has resulted in a sharp increase in the price of petrol and diesel. Gasoline was hit particularly hard: The liter price of Super E10 increased an average of 21.6 cents compared to last week’s fuel rebate. This means that the liter E10 costs 1.992 euros around the German average today, just under 2 euros.
The rise in the Diesel: A liter cost around 2.16 euros in Germany, according to ADAC a Plus 8.2 cents after the tank discount. According to the car experts, the difference between diesel and Super E10 should never have been greater – except at the time of the tank discount.
