While fuel prices in Germany are once again well over €2 per liter due to energy tax, CO₂ pricing, VAT, and the Iran-Iraq War, they have been averaging €1.54 or €1.25 on the island of Réunion for some time.
The reason: Fuel prices there are regulated by the government, with fixed margins for retailers and significantly lower taxes.
In Germany, on the other hand, the price per liter includes, among other things:
• Energy tax
• CO₂ pricing
• Petroleum reserves levy
• and an additional 19% VAT on top of everything. This comparison illustrates how differently fuel prices can be politically determined.
