Pump Prices Take a Slight Dip - Fuel Still Overpriced from ADAC's Perspective
Prices of oil have once more witnessed a drop; however, fuel costs remain notably higher. - Prices of oil decline once more, leaving fuel noticeably pricier than before.
Hey there! Here's the lowdown on the recent changes in fuel prices. The ADAC (Germany's leading automobile club) thinks diesel prices, in particular, are a few cents too high for comfort. The drop in crude oil prices this week has played a significant role in this shift, with the price of oil plummeting since last week, as per the ADAC.
Last Wednesday, the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran sent oil prices skyrocketing. However, with the tension easing at the start of the week, oil prices have taken a substantial nosedive.
The ADAC also attributes the euro's rise against the dollar as a factor in the falling fuel prices. "A strong euro has a positive impact because crude oil is traded in US dollars, making oil cheaper here." With oil prices expected to drop further, fuel prices should follow suit in the coming days.
To get the most bang for your buck, the ADAC recommends filling up your tank in the evening. Prices are lowest between 7-8 pm, with an average saving of about 13 cents per liter.
