Dutch drivers cross border to refuel in Germany

Original: duitsland

Dutch motorists are crossing into Germany to fill up their tanks, saving around 17 cents per litre on fuel. A regional Dutch outlet spoke to drivers who said they deliberately waited until now to make the trip, taking advantage of the price gap between the two countries. Fuel taxes and excise duties differ across the border, making a refuelling stop in Germany noticeably cheaper for many people living near it.

Why now: Fuel prices in Germany are currently about 17 cents per litre lower than in the Netherlands, prompting drivers to cross the border to refuel.
