Gas Prices Drop Just in Time for Pentecost
Prices of fuel experience significant drop prior to Pentecost celebrations. - Gas prices dropping significantly before the celebration of Pentecost
Hey there! Guess what? With the Pentecost holidays around the corner, gas prices are trending downwards. Both super gasoline and diesel have witnessed a steady decrease, as reported by the Automobile Club of Germany (ADAC). At the moment, the national average for Super E10 stands at 1.667 euros per liter, a 0.4 cent drop from the previous week. Diesel, on the other hand, has fallen by 0.6 cents, reaching 1.542 euros per liter.
This downward trend has been ongoing for some time now, with minimal fluctuations. If you remember, super gasoline was nearly 10 cents more expensive per liter in mid-February, and diesel was about 15 cents.
According to the ADAC, fuel prices have primarily approached a reasonable level in relation to the oil price and dollar exchange rate. However, there's still some room for diesel to drop, considering the lower tax.
If you're planning a road trip during the Pentecost break, consider refueling in the evening, as fuel prices often dip then. It's also wise to check the price in neighboring countries before crossing borders. For example, in countries like Poland, Czech Republic, and Austria, fuel is significantly cheaper, while in others like Denmark or Switzerland, it's comparatively more expensive.
The reason for these price differences can be attributed to varying taxes and levies. Changes in oil prices or the exchange rate to the dollar generally impact all countries, but the taxes can significantly influence the final retail price.
Curious about the prices in specific countries? Here's a comparative table for you:
| Country | Approx. Price (EUR per liter) ||-----------------|------------------------------|| Germany | ~1.76 || Poland | ~1.34 || Czech Republic | ~1.56 (CZK 38.7, approx. EUR 1.56 based on exchange rates and pricing trends) || Austria | ~1.56 || Denmark | ~1.94 || Switzerland | ~1.88 (CHF 1.80, approx. EUR 1.88 based on current exchange rate) |
Keep in mind that these prices can fluctuate, so it's always a good idea to stay updated before hitting the road! Happy travels! ✨🚀
