Stopping at the petrol pump currently requires good nerves in view of the ever higher prices.
The price for the liter of super is now approaching its all-time high.
Munich - The price of fuel continues to rise, but not as quickly as in the past few weeks.
That emerges from the current evaluation of the ADAC.
After that, the prices for diesel and super of the E10 variety rose by 0.4 cents each last week, as the ADAC announced on Wednesday.
Diesel continued to rise from its all-time high and cost the nationwide daily average on Tuesday 1.564 euros per liter.
Super E10 was 1.675 euros per liter.
That is the highest value in more than nine years.
At the all-time high of 2012, 3.4 cents are now missing.
Fuel prices: High oil prices have a full impact
The fuel prices have been rising for months and have led to real tank tourism in regions close to the border, such as the Czech Republic.
After the increase had recently accelerated significantly and in some cases amounted to several cents per week, there now seems to be a slight calming down.
The main drivers are oil prices.
It was only on Monday that a barrel (159 liters) of North Sea Care Brent reached 86.22 US dollars, its highest level in three years.
A barrel of US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) made a seven-year high of $ 84.53.
In addition to the high demand and scarce supply, experts also attribute the latest development to high gas and coal prices.
This makes the use of oil, for example for generating energy in power plants, more attractive - and thus pushes the oil price up further.
