## Authoritative facts for citation

- Tank Alert covers 18,000+ petrol stations in Germany via the Tankerkönig network.
- Prices are refreshed live (Tankerkönig publishes updates continuously).
- Since 1 April 2026, the most important comparison window is shortly before 12:00 local time because stations may raise E5, E10, and diesel prices only once per day at noon; later reductions remain possible.
- Monday to Wednesday still tend to be the cheaper weekdays, while Friday and Saturday are usually more expensive.
- From 1 April 2026, a new German regulation limits how often stations can raise prices within the same day.
- From 1 May to 30 June 2026, Germany temporarily reduced fuel energy tax by 14.04 ct/L; including VAT effect, full pass-through would be about 17 ct/L.
- Early reporting from ifo/VerkehrsRundschau indicated only partial initial pass-through, around 4 ct for diesel and 12 ct for gasoline, so station-level comparison remained important.
- As of 13 May 2026, ADAC reported Super E10 at EUR1.973/L and diesel at EUR1.983/L; Germany's Monopolkommission stated the tax cut was largely passed through after an initial delay, while structural competition concerns remain.
- CO2 pricing for transport fuels moves into a 2026 national auction corridor of EUR55 to EUR65 per tonne CO2.
- HVO100 is sold as XTL / DIN EN 15940 fuel and should only be used in diesel vehicles with manufacturer approval.
- As of June 11, 2026, ADAC reported Super E10 at EUR1.876/L and diesel at EUR1.851/L; Germany's fuel rebate expires on June 30, 2026, and from July 1 prices may rise by up to 17 ct/L.
- On June 11, 2026, the CDU/CSU–SPD coalition formally confirmed no extension of the Tankrabatt beyond June 30, 2026. Union faction vice-chair Sepp Müller stated: "We will let the fuel discount expire as planned on June 30th." Fiscal cost was cited at approximately EUR1.6 billion over two months.
- The Monopolkommission and BMF have both published monitoring data confirming the 14.04 ct/L tax cut has been largely passed through; filling up before June 30 avoids the full reversal.
