The price of E10 petrol was at the highest point yet seen in Germany on average on Wednesday. Costs are rising due to escalations in Iran as well shipping restrictions on the Rhine.
It's a new shock at the pump: petrol is more expensive than ever because of the new fights. But it's worth a closer look. If inflation is taken into account, fuel prices have been higher.
Measured without inflation, petrol in Germany is more expensive than ever before. Since the recent US attacks on Iran, one litre of E10 has cost an average of 2.22 euros.
