As I’ve written before, there’s no distinction between politics and the car industry in Germany. Three state governors from different parties are once again calling on Europe to allow the internal combustion engine free rein. To be honest, they're incapable of thinking.

Drei Autoländer – eine gemeinsame Botschaft

Baden-Württemberg, Bayern und Niedersachsen fordern von der Bundesregierung und der EU konkrete Maßnahmen, um die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Automobilstandorte zu sichern.

Diesel’s up 8.5 cents today. 4 cents yesterday. Up 72.5% in a year, and the rate of price increases is accelerating. Brutal.

U.S. Energy Secretary, welcome to the War on Cars

The trick to lowering gas prices is driving less, US energy secretary says

AAA said Labor Day travelers can expect the highest gas prices ever for this time of year. The national average for regular gas was $4.14 on Sunday.

so this is a bonanza for some specific parts of the Republican coalition, bad news for most other people (including Trump), and the kind of thing that starts to structurally change economies.

Patrick De Haan @gasbuddyguy.bsky.social · 1d

we've reached a new milestone- the U.S. average diesel price has hit $6.301/gal while gasoline is up to $4.355/gal. I expect both of these to jump noticably over the next 48 hours. diesel could hit $6.60/gal in a few days, surpassing the inflation-adjusted peak seen in 2022.

1/2 Österreichs #Inflation ist im August 2026 +3,2%. Der Irankrieg und die Sperre der Straße von Hormuz führt dazu, dass ölbasierte Produkte (Diesel, Benzin, Heizöl) die Top-Preistreiber dominieren (zusammen +0,9PP Inflationsbeitrag!). Während die MWst-Senkung auf Grundnahrungsmittel weiter dämpft..
