Refueling costs nerves in Germany - after all, fuel prices in this country are particularly high.
However, current statistics from the ADAC gives hope.
Berlin/Munich - Drivers will not have it easy in 2022: every time a stop is necessary at any petrol pump, the question of the level of the fuel price arises.
However, electric car drivers are not exempt from this problem, after all, the electricity costs for charging have also increased in the wake of the energy crisis.
However, the current ADAC statistics give German vehicle owners a bit of a breather: Prices at gas stations have fallen again since last week: A liter of Super E10 currently costs 1.945 euros per liter on average nationwide, which is 4.7 cents less than in Germany Last week, explains the traffic club in a statement.
The price per liter of diesel, which is now the most expensive fuel at the pumps, has also fallen slightly: According to the ADAC, the price of diesel has fallen by 4.0 cents and is currently 2.117 euros.
Fuel prices in Germany are falling: flash in the pan or final about-face?

Neither the price of crude oil for the North Sea variety Brent nor the exchange rate from the euro to the US dollar reflected the current price level at the pumps as significant factors (we reported).
The fuel prices had risen sharply when the tank discount ended on September 1, 2022.
According to the Cartel Office, on the first day of the month they averaged EUR 2.08 for E5 petrol and EUR 2.18 per liter for diesel.
A while ago we spoke to an ADAC spokeswoman about greedy oil companies and the hardships of commuters.
