Germany
Gasoline prices in Germany are rising due to a new 12-hour pricing model, allowing only one price increase per day at noon. The base cost of gasoline increased in April compared to March, with oil companies adding risk premiums. The intervals for cheaper refueling have shortened.
The analysis of the claims reveals that Germany has implemented a policy where gasoline prices can only be increased once daily at noon. This aligns with the evidence, as recognized by several sources. However, the risk premium on oil is currently negative, contradicting the claim about additional risk premiums. Gas prices indeed increased in March compared to February, supporting the claim about rising costs. Lastly, evidence supports that intervals for cheaper refueling may have shortened due to the once-a-day price increase rule. However, no fact-check organizations have directly verified these claims, so confidence is moderate.
