Hermos and summer heat drive fuel prices in Germany
Reports have confirmed that 2026 was the year that recorded the highest fuel prices in Germany's history, with the price of E10 gasoline reaching €2.165 per liter, the second-highest level after March 2022 when it was €2.203. The reasons for the price hike include the Strait of Hormuz crisis and its impact on global oil prices, as well as declining water levels in the Rhine River, which disrupt shipping and increase transportation costs. The German government previously reduced fuel taxes to counter the rise, but this measure has ended, and fuel prices have risen again. Experts also warn that increasing oil prices and shipping costs could put pressure on the German economy and citizens' livelihoods, especially as the government faces political and economic challenges, with expectations that prices will continue to rise if current conditions persist.
