AAFES gas prices stagnant in Germany

Army and Air Force Exchange Service gas prices in Germany will fall just a fraction of a cent Saturday, while prices in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands will drop anywhere from 4.5 cents to 17.2 cents a gallon.

For the second week in a row, "floor" pricing — a policy intended to prevent AAFES from losing money on fuel sales — keeps prices for all grades of fuel in Germany and the Netherlands from falling as much as in the U.S.

Fuel prices in the U.K., meanwhile, are keeping pace with freefalling U.S. prices.

The average price of regular gasoline stateside fell 15.2 cents a gallon in the latest weekly survey by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. AAFES regular in Germany, meanwhile, drops just six-tenths of a cent this week.

And while mid-grade and premium also fell more than 15 cents a gallon in the EIA survey, in the Netherlands prices for those grades will drop 4.5 cents and 5 cents respectively.
