Life becomes more expensive for many people. Filling up the car costs a lot of money. Prices for gasoline and diesel rise strongly. This happens because of the situation in the world. Costs are also high in Australia and Germany.
Austria now starts a fuel price brake. The national government decided this on Wednesday. People will pay less at the gas station. The state covers some of the costs. This leaves citizens with more money to live on.
Experts warn about the effects. In Germany, farmers criticize the situation. Companies for truck transports also worry. High prices harm the economy. The government looks for more solutions for this problem.
