The Austrian automobile club ÖAMTC criticizes that the falling crude oil prices in June have only partially reached domestic fuel pumps and is calling for an investigation and stricter regulation of international price quotations for diesel and Super.
Price level in June: Diesel and Super at a glance
According to the ÖAMTC, the monthly average price for a litre of diesel at Austrian petrol stations in June was 1.777 euros. "Im Monatsdurchschnitt kostete ein Liter Diesel 1,777 Euro", it said. For Super, 1.692 euros per litre had to be paid: "während für Super 1,692 Euro fällig wurden".
The mobility club attributes the comparatively cheaper June prices to falling oil prices following a ceasefire in the Middle East. "Der Grund für diese Entwicklung sind laut ÖAMTC die sinkenden Erdölpreise, die durch den Waffenstillstands im Nahostkonflikt und der Ankündigung weiterer Verhandlungen zwischen den USA und dem Iran ausgelöst wurden", the statement said. A ceasefire between the USA and Iran, as well as announced further negotiations, also intensified the pressure on the crude oil markets.
