Many motorists are venting their anger on Facebook and severely criticizing Aral and Shell.

Munich – Due to the tank discount, fuel prices in Germany should drop significantly – at least that is the plan of the federal government.

But there is little sign of the promised 35 cents for petrol and 17 cents for diesel at the pumps.

As feared in advance, the tank discount has fizzled out and German drivers are very angry and make no secret of it on social media.

The social media managers from Aral, Shell and Co. don't have an easy job these days, as they - along with the employees at the petrol stations - get the unfiltered resentment of the motorists about the failed tank discount.

There is hardly a post on Facebook that does not demand that the tank discount should finally be passed on in full.

Tank discount anger at Aral and Shell: "You are the very worst!"

For example, under a post from Germany's largest gas station chain Aral about a new vegetarian offer, numerous critical fuel discount comments are collected.

"You are the very last!" Writes a user.

“Exploiters and profit maximizers on the backs of German citizens.

We'll remember that," clarifies another.

Some users are even threatening a boycott or switching to alternatives: "Actually, I didn't want to buy an e-car, but if you also start cheating on us, it'll happen sooner than you would like."

Tank discount rage: drivers hope for Robert Habeck

The situation is similar with competitor Shell.

"The more you rip people off, the faster people will look for alternatives," writes a Facebook user.

Another user expresses his displeasure particularly clearly: "I could throw up!"

The question is also asked why Shell, Aral and Co. do not pass on the full tank discount to their customers.

Some users also express their sympathy for the employees in the gas stations: "They now have to listen to something because of you criminals." One thing is also clear in the comment columns: the hope of drivers is now on Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck (52, Greens) , who wants to strengthen the cartel office with a change in the law so that the authority can act more quickly.
