German E10 petrol falls below €2 per litre on daily average
Germany’s nationwide daily average for E10 fell below €2 per litre on Sunday, reaching €1.996, according to the ADAC.
That was 7.6 cents less than a week earlier, while diesel fell by 4.1 cents to €2.241 per litre.
E10 has mostly become cheaper over the past month, but diesel’s price was almost unchanged from a month earlier.
Diesel now costs 24.5 cents more than E10, among the largest gaps on record.
Normally, diesel is cheaper than petrol because it is taxed at a lower rate, but it is more vulnerable to supply disruptions and Germany imports more finished diesel fuel.
A current tax cut reduces taxes on both fuels by about 17 cents per litre.
Monday’s early indicators pointed slightly lower, with hopes for a diplomatic solution to the US-Iran war also weighing on oil prices, but a lasting price drop is not yet clear.
