Abstract

Since the Iran war, fuel prices in Germany have risen sharply. Our analysis shows that diesel prices at gas stations have increased much more than crude oil prices. On average, downstream margins for oil companies rose by 29 euro cents per liter of diesel during the period under review. To ensure that, in times of crisis, only actual changes in crude oil prices are passed on to end consumers, gas station prices could be linked to daily spot prices in Rotterdam or to short-term Brent futures contracts.
