As of today, the new tank discount will apply. But the German government has even more plans. Fuel price caps, direct payments – these are the plans.
The Federal Government's tank discount is controversial, but first of all it provides the expected effect: fuel prices are falling. Only the further course will show whether the corporations will pass on the tax discount in full.
With the introduction of the fuel discount, petrol at petrol stations was on average 10 to 11 cents cheaper. However, first data also show where the offer has not yet arrived.
At midnight, gasoline and diesel were abruptly cheaper. In many places, super gasoline of the cheaper type E10 was offered for less than two euros.
For three months, the federal government reduces taxes on fuel. Economists consider the measure to be missing.
