Assoutenti denounces “a sting only on refueling equal to +525 euros per year per family in the case of petrol cars, +558 euros in the case of diesel cars”.

“Compared to the average prices in self mode of the same period of 2021 – explains the president of Assoutenti Furio Truzzi – today a liter of gasoline costs on average 28% more, while on diesel fuel is even spent 32.4% more. . This means that for a full tank of green it is necessary to take into account a higher cost of +21.9 euros, while a full tank of diesel is increased by 23.2 euros “. The request to the government is to “calm down prices by reducing excise duties on fuels and sterilizing VAT.
