(Tiper Stock Exchange) – The sharp rise in petrol and diesel prices does not stop with the price lists of the green that on some motorways have broken through the 2.5 euro per liter quota. Assoutenti reveals it by publishing the map of fuel prices in Italy.
“On the A4 Venice-Trieste, petrol, based on the surveys carried out on the prices indicated by the operators between 27 and 28 July last, reached a peak of 2.553 euros per liter for the served, while diesel reaches the 2.4 euros/litre. On the A21 Turin-Piacenza, a liter of petrol is sold for 2.549 euros, 2.334 for diesel. The A14 Bologna-Bari-Taranto also exceeds the 2.5 euro threshold, with 2.529 euro.
Mind-boggling price lists also on the urban and extra-urban network of numerous regions: on the Via Provinciale di Arpaise (Bn) a liter of green (served) costs 2.552 euros, diesel even 2.619 euros. In Calabria in Serra San Bruno (Vv) petrol at 2.499 euros, diesel 2.359 euros. In Lucca 2.487 euros per liter for green, 2.554 euros for diesel. “We ask the government to resort to Mister Prices and the rapid alert Commission to carefully monitor the trend in petrol and diesel prices and reveal what happens in the formation of price lists throughout the supply chain, from extraction to sale to distributors”, comments the president Assoutenti, Furio Truzzi.
Also Coldiretti lraises the alarm, emphasizing how in a country like Italy where 88% of the goods travel by road to reach the shelves, the increase in petrol and diesel prices “it has a snowball effect on business costs and consumer spending.”
Regarding press reports of isolated cases of fuel stations along the motorway network where they have been detected limit prices at 2.5 euros per liter for unleaded petrol in served mode, it should be noted that the national average prices of diesel and petrol are well below 2 euros per litre, as revealed by the weekly elaboration of fuel prices on a daily basis, carried out by the Mimit Fuel Price Observatory”. The ministry specified this by providing its data in a note. 1.89 euros per liter for petrol and 1.74 euros per liter for diesel. The current growth in the average price, of about 0.03 euro per liter in the past week, is determined by what is being observed on the international markets, due to the increase in the prices of both oil and refined products.
Since the beginning of 2023, the industrial price of petrol and diesel, therefore net of taxation, in Italy has remained stably lower than that in Spain, Germany and France”underlines the ministry.
