ADAC Calls for the Abolition of the 12-Hour Rule

Since April, fuel prices in Germany can only be increased at gas stations at 12:00 PM. However, the German Automobile Club (ADAC) states that this 12-hour rule has led to greater price fluctuations throughout the day. ADAC argues that this situation negatively affects drivers and is calling for the rule to be abolished.

Why it matters? Fluctuations in fuel prices directly impact drivers' budgets. Abolishing the 12-hour rule could allow for more flexible pricing, potentially offering consumers better prices.
