Overview
- Average prices fell to €1.565 per liter for diesel and €1.656 for Super E10, marking a third straight weekly decline, according to ADAC.
- Brent crude has slid from about $70 to roughly $61 per barrel since late September, with higher OPEC output and weak global demand cited as key drivers.
- Heating oil has also eased, with Heizoel24 reporting around €93 per 100 liters at the end of September versus readings in the high €80s to about €89 in recent days for 3,000‑liter purchases.
- Price swings at the pump remain pronounced by region and time of day, with intra‑day gaps above 10 cents per liter and the lowest levels typically in the evening.
- ADAC advises refueling later in the day, noting evening prices can be up to 13 cents per liter below morning peaks, and opposes a Baden‑Württemberg push to study Austria’s once‑per‑day price‑increase rule.
