Petrol prices rise rapidly: Middle East conflict meets drivers hard!

What drives the fuel prices up? The answer to this question is currently in the conflict between Israel and Iran. According to the latest information from ZVW , the price for one liter of Super E10 rose to an average value of 1.671 euros on Saturday, while diesel was 1.551 euros. Compared to Friday, this was an increase of 1.3 cents each. Especially on Sunday morning at 8.20 a.m., the prices for Super E10 even climbed to 1.749 euros and for diesel to 1.639 euros, which turns the morning tank habits upside down. This development is not surprising, since lower fuel prices also played a major role for weeks before they shot up again through the geopolitical tensions.

The fuel price increases are directly related to military tensions in the Middle East. On Friday, June 13th, the conflicts between Israel and Iran escalated to a military conflict, which led to an increase in the price of the crude oil by about $ 5 per barrel. The price of Brente-Rohöl exceeded the $ 74-US brand and was previously around $ 69. This not only leads to more expensive prices at the petrol station, but also makes the forecasts for the coming days seem dark.

The cheapest prices can usually be found between 7 and 8 p.m. and almost as well as between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. A price comparison can therefore really pay off!
