Over the years past, the market for diesel-engine vehicles in West Germany has grown substantially. The proportion of diesel vehicles in new registrations has been particularly high every time that the retail price of diesel fuel at stations was distinctly below the fuel price for spark ignition engines. The petroleum industry, by shaping the price relation of fuels, has the possibility to influence the decision of buyers of automobiles as to the type of drive, and by extending the proportion of diesel vehicles in the total number of vehicles can secure a stable demand potential in a middle-distillate market shrinking on the whole. This dynamic balance between fuel price relation and the proportion of diesel vehicles registered will settle over the long term, as far as one can tell at the moment, at a 15% share of diesel vehicles in the total number of registrations.
