Rare long decline in oil prices: prices at the pump continue to fall

The price of oil on the world market has been falling for seven weeks in a row. That’s rare; it is the first time in five years that the oil price has fallen for so many weeks in a row. You will clearly notice this at the pump when you want to fill up your car with fuel. For example, the average recommended price for a liter of gasoline was €2,078 on Friday, according to data from consumer collective UnitedConsumers. That’s about 10 cents less than a month ago. In practice, the price is often much lower. If you look carefully, you can refuel with E10 for less than €1.90 per liter. The price of diesel has also fallen recently. The recommended retail price is now €1,898. It is the first time since the beginning of August that the recommended retail price has fallen below €1.90. Here too, it is offered locally for much less.
