Overview
- The nationwide average price for diesel rose to €1.654 per liter, up 2.1 cents in a week and 9.9 cents over five weeks, according to ADAC.
- Super E10 edged down by 0.3 cents to €1.682 per liter, leaving only a 2.8-cent gap to diesel.
- ADAC notes Brent crude fell from $65 to $62 per barrel over the past week without a corresponding decline at petrol stations.
- The narrow gap clashes with an about 20-cent tax difference between the fuels, with ADAC citing heating-season demand as a possible reason for stronger diesel prices.
- ADAC’s latest outlook warns that refuelling could become more expensive in the coming years.
