The petrol price meter at the pumps does not play to dampen the controversies that have erupted in recent days. At the reopening of the week, in fact, the prices according to the Daily relay they are at a six-month high for green, while diesel is slightly decreasing. This widens the gap between the two fuels.
It must be said that on the international oil markets there are no major shocks at the moment, despite Iran’s first attack on Israel: there is hope that there will be no escalation. And in fact this morning Brent opened lower, falling below 90 dollars. However, it remains a market that moves at different levels and for consumers it is more useful to know that Friday the prices of refined products recorded their second consecutive increase, due more to structural causes than to the events of the last few days, explains Staffetta. As for fuel prices, petrol starts to rise again, reaching its highest level in exactly six months, while diesel prices record a slight decline. Among the individual houses, in the daily survey it emerges that Q8 increased recommended petrol prices by two cents per litre. For Tamoil we record an increase of one cent per liter on petrol and diesel.
The controversies over the trips
Over the weekend, there was a flood of reports from consumer associations of outlets that brought petrol prices up to above 2.5 euros, thus complaining about the bad practice of profiting from trips out of town finally incentivized since spring. Mimit had to intervene to underline that these are peaks that are out of control but the average is well under 2 euros.
