Although the Dutch motorist would like to see things differently, petrol prices continue to rise at a rapid pace. For the first time in history, the petrol price has risen above €2.10 per liter. This is according to data from consumer organization United Consumers.
According to United Consumers, the national suggested retail price (GLA) for a liter of E10 (Euro 95) is currently at €2,102, 3 cents more than a day earlier and 5 percent higher than at the beginning of this month when it exceeded €2 for the first time. for a liter of E10 had to be tapped. This does not mean that you have to lose this amount at every gas station. On the highway, the price of a liter of fuel will come closest to or exceed the GLA. It is quite possible that you will lose less for your fuel locally.
At the time of writing, the suggested retail price for a liter of diesel is €1.76 and remains unchanged from yesterday. You also lose more for a liter of LPG than the day before. The GLA for a liter of LPG is currently €1.13. United Consumers sets the national suggested retail price for a gallon of fuel based on the prices of five major oil companies. In the Netherlands, the fuel price is largely made up of excise duties. For comparison, according to benzinpreis-aktuell.de you currently lose €1,698 for a liter of E10 in Germany.
The high fuel prices are caused by the rapid increase in demand for oil, but oil countries are not pumping as much oil out of the ground as they could.
