Diesel prices rise: drivers now have to dig deeper into their pockets!

Diesel prices rise: drivers now have to dig deeper into their pockets!

The prices at the petrol stations in Germany rise again! Diesel drivers have to adjust to a noticeable increase, because the price for one liter diesel climbed by 1.8 cents to 1.595 euros in a week comparison. The diesel price is thus dangerously close to the price for Super E10, which is currently 1.655 euros - a decline of 0.1 cents compared to the previous week. However, the difference between the two fuels is still around 20 cents, which makes the situation no less frustrating for diesel drivers.

Winter price increases

The cold season traditionally brings higher diesel prices. This is because diesel and heating oil are almost identical, only taxed differently. When the demand for heating oil increases in winter, the diesel drivers also feel the consequences at the petrol pump. While the gasoline price remains stable, diesel prices continue to climb. The crude oil price is currently around $ 73 per barrel Brent, which means an increase of a dollar compared to the previous week. In addition, the euro remains weak in relation to the dollar, which further tightens the situation.

To find the best prices, the ADAC recommends comparing the fuel prices before the journey. The practical fuel price app "ADAC Drive" helps to find the cheapest petrol stations in the area. A tip: Fueling in the evening is often cheaper than in the morning, so that drivers can save a few euros in an evening tank filling in the evening.
