Record Diesel Prices Surge in Germany Amid Rising Fuel Costs
Diesel prices in Germany have reached a new record high, with average costs surpassing previous levels.
As reported by the ADAC, the average price for a liter of diesel rose to €2.425, exceeding the previous record by more than 10 cents. Meanwhile, the price for Super E10 reached €2.184, marking a new annual high and approaching the peak from 2022. Since April 1, fuel prices can only be increased once daily at noon, a policy inspired by Austria. On Easter Sunday, prices increased significantly, with diesel rising by 7.3 cents to €2.488 and Super E10 by 7.1 cents to €2.239, indicating a trend of escalating daily average prices.
