Between the EU and the Merz-coalition....you get various hints now of 'changes' coming and a fuel-crisis coming to exist.
First, E-10 fuel cost this AM? 2.21 Euro per liter. Roughly 46 cents from where it was 6 weeks ago.
The jet-fuel situation? Pretty much all the German airports are saying there's no problem for April. But they are identifying destination airports where there is a fuel issue, and airlines will quietly curtail these (probably mid-to-late May).
Fuel rationing? EU talking a good bit about this....I would imagine some 'gimmick' will be in place by the end of April. The amount per week? Unknown.
Escalating city-bus tickets? With diesel up around 2.40 Euro per liter....yeah....there has to be either a elimination of some taxes at the pump, or tickets will have to go up by 20-percent. I'd lay down a bet that this situation develops within two weeks. I could even see the city bus folks meeting and curtailing 25-percent of the schedule because of limited fuel.
Massive chaos? No....it hasn't reached that level where they have daily Chancellor/cabinet meetings. If the fuel situation continues the spiral in June? Well....yeah, that would be the point where E-10 fuel likely hits 3-Euro per liter, and the economy is wrecked-up for the majority of people.
Just implementing a speed limit/tempo deal.....on the autobahn....will shock some folks. The talk is that will likely occur in May....120 kph would be the max.
Green Party chatter? They are going to push for home-office maximum use.
Crazy times.....oddly, if you had bought into the E-car BS.....you'd be in a pretty secure situation.
