Frugal Germans are crossing into Poland to buy petrol as pump prices rise as a result of Iran choking off global oil supplies in retaliation for US-Israeli strikes.
As of Wednesday, a litre of Super E10 petrol cost 2.01 euros ($2.30) and a litre of diesel 2.13 euros, according to the German Motorists' Association ADAC -- up about 15 and 24 percent on February levels.Â
