The rise in fuel costs was caused by escalating global oil prices due to the ongoing Middle East conflict and congestion in the Strait of Hormuz.

Even the latest actions by the German government, which enacted a law last week permitting fuel price hikes only once a day, did not succeed in curbing diesel prices. The law took effect on April 1.

ADAC specialists have already voiced concerns regarding the unprecedented increase in fuel costs. They urged the authorities to tackle the issue by temporarily lowering the energy sales tax.
