What are the long-term implications of this price shift for the German automotive market, and how might manufacturers adapt to changing consumer preferences?

The shrinking price gap between diesel and gasoline is altering the break-even point for diesel car ownership. Previously, 15,000 kilometers of annual driving often made diesel worthwhile; now, significantly higher annual mileage—sometimes exceeding 20,000 kilometers—is frequently necessary. This trend is likely to continue influencing consumer preferences and the automotive market, with manufacturers needing to adapt.
