Tank shock! First type of gasoline in Berlin over 2 euros – BZ Berlin
On Monday morning, fuel prices soared again. But that was awesome: The V-Power Racing type of gasoline cracked the 2 euro mark on Martin-Luther-Strasse in Berlin-Schöneberg!
A week ago, the ADAC had already recorded a drastic increase in gasoline prices:
According to ADAC calculations, a nationwide average of 1,609 euros will be paid by US drivers for a liter of E10 on October 6th. Compared to the previous week that was 2.8 cents more. The price of diesel rose even more, by 3.4 cents to a total of 1,478 euros.
The cause of the high fuel prices are the high crude oil prices.
Both North Sea oil and US petroleum hit multi-year highs on Monday. In the morning, a barrel (159 liters) of North Sea Brent cost US $ 83.66. That was $ 1.27 more than Friday. The price of a barrel of the American West Texas Intermediate (WTI) rose by $ 1.53 to $ 80.88.

Brent crude currently costs more than it has for about three years. The US oil price is even at its highest level in seven years. The tense supply situation in the energy sector remains decisive, not just on the oil market. Because the prices for gas and coal have risen sharply in recent months, oil is increasingly being considered as an alternative. That is also driving oil prices up strongly.
