Video: It will be a luxury good – record highs in fuel prices

A look at the prices of petrol and diesel can certainly not make motorists happy these days. The explosion in energy costs, with gas, electricity, but also with fuel, is having a massive impact on the petrol pumps. The ADAC has now attested a record price for the diesel, and super gasoline was also “scratching its all-time high”, it said. At this Frankfurt gas station, the comments at the beginning of the week fluctuated between frustration and resignation. “So three months ago that was one euro, for a short time it was also under one euro and also 1.10 euros and so on. But I came back from vacation, it is 1.40 euros, 1.50 euros, that’s what got me shocked.” “If it goes on like this, then I would sell my car and ideally not drive a car.” “I can’t change that, but it’s annoying, insane. Above all, I think that now to switch to rail, for example, but the train is also expensive. That is now, is not really a solution.” “It will be a luxury good as it looks at the moment, and now of all times, at the moment when, due to Corona, many no longer have the money. That means, it’s not just about fuel prices, it’s that entire heating system, gas, whatever you need, shoots up, groceries, everything. You can be happy if you can really still afford the fuel. ” The current soaring oil price is having a negative impact on both consumers and industry. In this country, the high energy costs meet the talks on the formation of a government and the efforts to achieve the climate protection goals.
