This photo taken on October 1, 2026 after noon shows a display of the prices for different kinds of fuel at an oil and gas station in Berlin. German motorists began paying less to fill their cars on October 1, 2026 as fuel subsidies aimed at softening the impact of the Middle East war energy shock came into force.
