Cost of Diesel in France and Germany

Anyone have the current cost per liter of Diesel in both France and Germany?

Filled up my car on Wednesday at the local Intermarche (grocery store) gas pumps... I noticed that the price of diesel was 1.068 euro per litre....

The local gas stations (BP, Total, etc.)
are always several cents higher. Total always has the highest prices in this part of France (Provence)

I just saw 1.06 euros per liter yesterday. This was at an Auchan, which is a large French store.

I noted that the Carrefour fuel station asked 1.08 euros. Obviously Carrefour isn't competitive.

Both prices were for Diesel.

Across the border into Spain you can get about 10% cheaper fuels.

Looks like PBProvence and Blackduff are right on the money, at least as of December, per this survey from this site:

In Germany, it's around 1.12 euro/litre in big cities, a few cents more in villages, so fill up at French hypermarket before crossing the border.

I filled my tank for diesel at 1.11 euros. This is a big jump in the past ten days. I previously paid at 1.06 euros on April 15 and now it's the 25th.

I guess that the price of a barrel is causing fuel increases immediately.
