Consensus

The price of Super E10 gasoline in Germany hit a historical record of 2.215 euros per litre on September 3.
This price exceeds the previous record of 2.203 euros per litre set in March 2022.
The increase is linked to renewed military conflict between the U.S. and Iran.
The Strait of Hormuz experienced a complete halt in shipping due to the conflict.
The situation has led to a global rise in fuel prices, affecting Europe and other regions.

The cancellation of the state fuel discount, which ended on July 1, contributed to the price increase. — riamo
