Refueling is more expensive than ever in Germany.
Within a week petrol and diesel made a huge jump in price and cracked the mark of 2.10 euros.
Russia's war against Ukraine has again pushed fuel prices to record highs.
According to the ADAC evaluation, drivers in Germany currently have to pay 2.103 euros on average for a liter of
Super
E10
,
which is 27.6 cents more than in the previous week.
Even more dramatic is the increase
in
diesel
which is now significantly more expensive than the Super E10, as the ADAC announced on March 9 on its website.
A liter costs an average
of 2.150 euros
, which is a jump in price of 39.4 cents within a week.
War in Ukraine: Gasoline prices again at record highs
According to the ADAC, the fact that
diesel is currently more expensive than Super E10
is due to the currently very high demand for heating oil.
"That's actually not typical of the season, but apparently people are currently buying heating oil because they don't know how things will be in the coming winter," said an ADAC spokesman in Munich recently.

High fuel prices - no relief for motorists in sight
There is no relief in sight: A possible freeze on imports of oil from Russia pushed
oil prices
to their highest level since 2008 at the start of the week.
In early trading, the price of a barrel (159 liters) of North Sea Brent rose by up to almost 18 percent to $139.13 and was thus close to the record level of almost $150 from summer 2008. This accelerated the rise in the oil prices in recent days.
