Fuels, prices soar: Diesel above 2 euros at self-service, gasoline on the rise

New surge in fuel prices, driven by tensions in the Gulf.

According to data transmitted by operators to the Price Observatory of the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy and processed by Staffetta, recorded at 8 AM yesterday across about 20,000 stations,

the self-service gasoline averages 1.811 euros per liter (+9 thousandths: companies 1.813; white pumps 1.794), while self-service diesel reaches 2.030 euros per liter (+17: companies 2.027; white pumps 2.011).

At the close of yesterday, refined product prices in the Mediterranean show an increase: gasoline at 621 euros per thousand liters (+32, rounded value) and diesel at 820 euros per thousand liters (+52, rounded value).

Considering the excise duties, the values are 1,294.19 euros per thousand liters for gasoline and 1,492.47 euros per thousand liters for diesel.

Codacons, which has processed the regional data published by Mimit, expresses concern about the impact on food prices. For diesel, the highest prices are found in Friuli Venezia Giulia (2.061 euros per liter), Sicily (2.053 euros per liter), Aosta Valley (2.050 euros per liter), Calabria (2.040 euros per liter), while in Bolzano, a liter of diesel is currently sold at an average of 2.072 euros per liter.

On the highway, diesel at self-service costs on average 2.095 euros per liter, 1.905 euros per liter for unleaded. The average price of gasoline is also rising, reaching peaks of 1.863 euros in Bolzano, 1.844 euros in Calabria, 1.843 euros in Basilicata, 1.836 euros in Sicily and Aosta Valley. "We wonder - the note emphasizes - how much longer the technicians of the Mef will need to assess the cut in excise duties, considering that for a week the ministry has been studying the measure of mobile excise duties without coming to a conclusion: an inexplicable delay that will soon have direct repercussions on the prices of transported goods, through a general increase in retail prices starting with food products," concludes the Codacons.
