Expert Opinion – Manuel Masiero, Author PC Magazin
In Germany, gas station operators can adjust their prices as often as they like, making it almost impossible to keep track of price confusion without a tank app. Things are much more relaxed in Austria, which is due to the fuel price regulation that has been extended there until the end of 2022. It stipulates that gas station operators in the neighboring country may only increase their prices at 12:00 p.m. each day. However, a price reduction may be made at any time.
