Amman, April 4 (Petra) -- Diesel prices in Germany rose to a new record on Saturday at the start of the Easter holiday, Deutsche Welle reported.

The average daily price of diesel reached 2.391 euros ($2.75) per litre, the highest level on record.

In a bid to ensure transparency and curb rising prices, the German government changed the rules from Wednesday, allowing fuel stations to increase prices only once.
