Fuel Pricing Policies

(2010/11/17)

Last Update:

The downstream fuel sector in Germany is liberal and privatized. At the end of 2012 a Market Transparency Agency has been initiated to monitor retail price trends in Germany and to provide these information to customers.

Taxation on fuels is very high in Germany. As any taxes in Germany, fuel taxes are not earmarked, that is, this levy does not flow directly into road or infrastructure specific funds. According to several sources, the fuel tax income is indeed much higher than the costs of the road system.

While there are private web sites monitoring the fuel prices with high effort, e.g. benzinpreis.de, there is no official internet website of the German government giving up-to-date information on actual pump prices. Also, the government does not publish indicative prices or price structures.

Europe-wide fuel price statistics can be found at http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/.
