Germany has once again lowered excise duties on fuel. The government agreed on a plan to reduce the tax on diesel and petrol by 17 cents per liter, causing the price gap with the Netherlands to widen dramatically — up to €0.57 per liter for petrol and €0.51 for diesel . And there’s more: Germany is preparing a national fuel price cap, similar to Belgium and Luxembourg, which could make fuel structurally cheaper.
For anyone driving toward the border, this means one thing: Elten is now one of the most attractive places to fill up.
