Police spokesman Detlef Lueben said officers in the Oder district of Frankfurt took the step because of rising petrol prices. One in five patrol cars gets its petrol from a Polish filling station, Lueben confirmed. Compared to German prices, a litre of petrol costs about 20p less in Poland. But the move doesn't just save money, it also means police are avoiding paying a special German environmental tax on fuel. A spokesperson for the mineral oil trading association said a body like the police shouldn't be dodging taxes, the Berliner Kurier reports.
