A good week before the end of the so-called tank discount, fuel prices have risen slightly again. After a week-long downward slide and short-term stagnation, things picked up again slightly after the weekend, according to the ADAC.

E-mobility, transport policy and future mobility: the briefing on transport and smart mobility. For decision makers

Super gasoline of the E10 variety increased from Sunday to Monday from around 1.717 to 1.730 euros. Diesel cost 1.974 instead of 1.964 euros previously. The reason for the increase is probably higher demand in view of an imminent price jump in the coming week.

The prices are national averages. The actual prices can differ significantly: According to the ADAC, there are currently larger price differences than usual depending on the provider and region. There is also a further large north-south divide: Among other things, due to the high transport costs due to the low water in the Rhine, people in the south have to pay more for fuel on average than in the north.

In addition, the prices fluctuate considerably over the course of the day: fuel is usually the most expensive at 7 a.m. in the morning. It is cheapest for drivers to refuel between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.

The so-called tank discount expires in the night from August 31 to September 1. This is actually a temporary reduction in energy tax to the minimum level specified by the EU. It has been valid since June 1 together with the nine-euro ticket to relieve consumers in view of the energy prices.
