Overview
- The ADAC said on Wednesday that the nationwide daily average price for Super E10 rose to €2.215 per liter, exceeding the previous nominal record from March 2022.
- ADAC’s August monthly data show Super E10 averaged €2.145 per liter and Diesel €2.223 per liter, with diesel climbing about €0.13 from July.
- Analysts and agencies point to a mix of causes beyond crude: recent US–Iran hostilities lifted oil benchmarks while high European refinery margins, reduced diesel exports including Russian limits and attacks on plants tightened product supplies.
- Market rules and logistics are shaping prices at the pump because the market transparency unit (MTS-K) collects station data from roughly 14,000–15,000 outlets, and since April stations may raise prices only once daily at 12:00, making pre‑noon refuelling often cheapest.
- The government has refused to repeat the spring tank rebate, leaving households, farmers and hauliers to absorb higher costs and creating the risk of rising transport and food prices if diesel supply or refinery margins worsen.
