Since April, the price at petrol stations can only rise once a day, at point 12. However, reality looks different.
On May 1st, there should be a small tax reduction on petrol. However, data show that petrol stations are already tricking at the permitted time of increase.
Already in the run-up to the introduction of the 12 o'clock rule there is criticism and the fear that the model could lead to higher fuel prices. Now it turns out that it does not take gas station operators with the implementation so precisely.
Since April, petrol stations have only been allowed to increase prices once a day. However, an analysis of the SWR shows that around a quarter of the petrol stations are in breach of the rule.
Despite the 12 o'clock rule, hundreds of gas stations allegedly report thousands of price violations.
