The low water on the Rhine makes it difficult to transport fuel. This is noticeable at the gas stations in southern Germany.
According to ADAC, motorists in Bavaria currently have to pay the highest prices at gas stations. As the club announced, Super E10 cost an average of 1.779 euros in the morning in Bavaria, almost 16 cents more than in Berlin. At 1.991 euros, diesel was more than 17 cents more expensive than in Hamburg.
“Tank customers in the south are severely affected by the low water on the Rhine, which also makes it difficult to transport fuel,” said the ADAC. However, transport costs accounted for only a very small part of fuel costs. Gasoline currently only costs 1.621 euros in Berlin, 1.655 euros in Hamburg and 1.763 euros per liter in Bremen. “This results in a price difference of 10.8 cents between the two neighboring Hanseatic cities alone.”
The diesel price is currently showing “a massive north-south divide,” said the ADAC. According to ADAC, diesel is currently cheapest in Hamburg with an average price of 1.819 euros and in Berlin with 1.823 euros. Diesel is also relatively inexpensive in Lower Saxony, Brandenburg and Schleswig-Holstein. On the other hand, diesel is the most expensive in Bavaria at 1.991 euros and in Baden-Württemberg at 1.973 euros per liter on average. Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse and Saarland were also among the more expensive regions.
For the investigation on Tuesday at 11 a.m., ADAC evaluated the prices of more than 14,000 gas stations recorded by the market transparency agency and assigned them to the federal states.
