After spiking in 2008, German fuel prices dipped in 2009, in line with global oil prices. Consequently the value of fuel sales fell in 2009 in comparison with 2008.The German service station network has been contracting since 2005. In 2009, the number of sites in Germany fell by 37. Five players account for half of the entire German service station network. Aral has the largest network and accounts for over 16% of all sites.The proportion of sites with a shop in Germany is extremely high in comparison to other European countries.
