According to weekly data from the Ministry of Ecological Transition (Mite), fuel prices are still rising.
“It is confirmed that the drop in fuel prices that had lasted uninterrupted for almost two months, from 8 November 2021, and that instead stopped with the beginning of the year, is over. Petrol, in self-service mode, reaches € 1,733 per liter, diesel reaches € 1,598 per liter. A significant weekly increase, equal to 0.50 cents for a 50-liter tank, for both diesel and petrol (0.52 cents) “, he says. Massimiliano Dona, president of the National Consumers Union (Unc).
“In exactly one year, from the survey of 11 January 2021, when petrol was 1,450 euros per liter and diesel fuel was 1,325 euros per liter, a 50-liter tank costs 14 euros and 17 cents more for petrol and 13 euros and 65 cents more for diesel, with a surge of 19.5% and 20.6% respectively. A leap that is equivalent, on an annual basis, to a sting equal to 340 euros per year for petrol and 328 euros for diesel “, concludes Dona.
