## About

fuel-prices.eu is an independent fuel-price monitoring service operating since 2005.
The Austria live map shows current Diesel and Super 95 prices at the cheapest
stations of each of Austria's ~117 political districts (Bezirke), from the official
E-Control Spritpreisrechner API.

IMPORTANT DATA SHAPE: Austrian price-transparency law (Preistransparenzgesetz) only
allows publishing prices for the CHEAPEST ~5 stations per search area. This page
therefore shows the complete legal dataset — the cheapest ~5 stations of every
district (~500 priced stations nationwide) — not every Austrian station (~3,000
report prices to the regulator, but their prices may not be published unless they
are among the district's cheapest). Price increases are only allowed once daily at
12:00; decreases can happen anytime.

## Per-station pages

Each listed station has its own page at /live/austria/station/{slug}-{id}, where {id} is
the station id (the slug is cosmetic). Add ?lang=en or ?lang=de to force a language.
Each page shows current prices, a sortable comparison table of stations within 5 km,
an embedded map, and a 12-month price-history chart. Structured data: schema.org
GasStation (prices as Offers) + BreadcrumbList, hreflang en/de alternates.
