The cost of fuel is reaching unimaginable limits in some areas: now filling up is truly a drain. In the next few days it will become clear to everyone
I increases on petrol they are on the agenda and are affecting all Italian regions. The national average price has shot up in the last month – as reported The messenger – and the worst is yet to come. We are above the limits of two years ago, in some regions where costs seem to have truly returned above the warning levels. Tears at the distributor, prices have risen again (Ansa) – Fuoristrada.it
Paying a lot may be fine, paying too much is unacceptable. If we refer to the cost of fuel in Italy, the situation is becoming increasingly difficult as consumer protection associations report. The most obvious increases, we all remember by now, occurred in the first moments of the Ukrainian crisis before the price cap brought the situation back to a bearable level for many motorists. Even the Middle Eastern crisis has been assimilated as one of the reasons for raising the price bar at the distributor but after two years, still having a cost that is almost double that of many other countries is truly unsustainable.
Linked to this increase in prices of gas e diesel there could also be speculation, hypothetically speaking. In fact, in some regions we have reached the point of exceeding the ceiling of 2.5 Euros per liter with the served amount, a figure well beyond the darkest moments of the Ukrainian crisis. The data speaks clearly: in the last 6 weeks, we have seen an increase in the national average price of 5.3% for unleaded petrol and 6.3% for diesel.
The complaint comes directly from Assoutients which he pointed out as there are some anomalies in the data communicated by the managers to Mimit and published on the ministry’s website. The association then took action to check where these possible discrepancies came from and to investigate this risk of speculation.
Petrol prices, risk of speculation behind the latest increases: the wall of 2.5 Euros per liter has been broken
As recalled by Assoutenti himself who entrusted his message to the president’s words Gabriele Melluso: “Today a full tank of petrol costs almost 5 euros more than at the beginning of 2024, while if we talk about diesel we go up to +5.5 euros”. All of this reflects the fact that at the beginning of the year, things were not so economically unsustainable. The price of petrol reaches even higher limits (Fuoristrada – ANSA)
Going to explore the situation around the Italian territory, specifically we find the worst condition in a pump Tarantowhere petrol stands at 2.537 euros per litrewhile the diesel is at 2,447 Euros/litre.
Same condition – or almost in Campania – a Beneventowhere in some cases the threshold of is well exceeded 2.5 Euros per litre. Things are little better in the North, with the provinces of Cuneo, Bergamo and Milan which in some cases have costs that vary between 2,404 and 2,420 Euro/liter. As regards the motorway data, the highest numbers are found on the A21at the height of Piacenzawith the service costing 2,499 Euros per litre.
The association does not proclaim it directly but it is evident the need for an investigation to understand whether these prices, so high as to be scary, are linked to an increase in the cost of fuel or simply to pure speculation on the geopolitical crisis. We hope to get answers on this soon.
