A clear majority of people in Germany believe the government's measures against rising fuel prices are inadequate, with 80% of respondents surveyed saying not enough is being done, the ZDF's Politbarometer poll released on Friday showed.
Some 14% consider the measures appropriate while 3% say they go too far.
Many people are calling for a temporary cut in taxes and levies on petrol and diesel, the survey found. Some 73% support such a step while 25% oppose it. That's backed by a majority across most party supporters, with only Green party supporters showing a split picture.
On Thursday, the German parliament passed a package of measures to help cushion the higher energy costs. Petrol stations will only be allowed to raise prices once a day at noon (1100 GMT), though they could cut prices anytime.
The new rule could take effect before Easter, though it is unclear whether it will curb prices. The Federal Cartel Office is also to be given more powers to act against excessive prices.
