The increase in gasoline prices to 3 euros in Germany has created new concerns for drivers and families. According to calculations by the Federal Statistical Office of Germany, on September 7, the cost of filling a 60-liter tank of E10 gasoline in the Czech Republic and Poland was about 31 euros less than in Germany.
Price Differences with Neighboring Countries
This price difference reaches 28 euros in Luxembourg and 25 euros in Austria. This reality has led many German drivers to consider traveling to neighboring countries for refueling. While gasoline prices in Germany continue to rise, other European countries still offer lower prices, which could lead to a decrease in domestic travel and an increase in travel abroad.

As a result, many individuals may be forced to avoid unnecessary trips or turn to public transportation.
