The German tank rebate introduced yesterday, which is actually a reduction in energy tax, was hardly noticeable at the pumps. At a local inspection in Simbach, Bavaria yesterday afternoon, a liter of diesel still cost more than two euros, and a liter of petrol 1.94. So there were no long queues. Not even in the border town of Braunau, by the way, where drivers yesterday had to pay around 1.86 euros for a liter of petrol and 1.83 euros for a liter of diesel. It is expected that the price of fuel in Germany will become even cheaper in the near future. As reported, the corporations have only been able to buy cheaper since yesterday, but the warehouses are still filled with more expensive fuel. The local gas station operators are looking forward to crossing the border and fear losses.
