Gasoline price shock: the first petrol stations crack the two-euro mark - Plasberg warns: "Get used to it"

The rapid rise in fuel prices does not seem to be coming to an end.

Now the liter of fuel already costs two euros at the first filling stations in Germany.

Berlin - heating, electricity, petrol: everything is getting more expensive in Germany.

Energy prices in particular continue to rise.

So far, the average price for premium gasoline in 2021 has been 1.52 euros.

According to the Federal Statistical Office, it was last so high in the years 2011 to 2014. With this development, one or the other will certainly wonder whether he should slowly get his bike out of the cellar again.

At a liter price of 1.60 euros, 99 cents are added for taxes and CO2 pricing.

Bavaria is of course not spared from high prices.

While a number of motorway filling stations in the Free State already charge 1.99 euros for a liter of premium gasoline, you can fill up at one or the other rural gas station at a “bargain price” for 1.44 euros to 1.57 euros.

In Munich and the Munich area, on the other hand, things are looking bad.
