The measure that reduces the prices of gasoline and diesel fuel comes to an end. This means that there is a real danger of out-of-control increases.
Petrol and diesel prices, the provision that concerned the reduction of costs for citizens on what is the disbursement for refueling is coming to an end. Since last March 21 putting fuel into one’s car or motorbike has resulted in a reduction of 25 cents per liter due to the cut in excise duties plus another 5 cents per liter as regards VAT.
But the prices of gasoline and diesel remained high nonetheless, despite this, remaining on average about € 1.85 per liter for both main types of fuel. And indeed, in some cases, however, people have had to fork out even more than 2 euros per liter.
But now this measure is coming to an end, which initially created protests by AssoPetroli. May 2 is the last day on which excise duty cuts on petrol and diesel prices remain in effect. This won’t be the only trouble that we will have to prepare to face.

With fuel prices so high again and with the increasingly concrete ghost that we can arrive at three euros per liter to refuel, the risk of new protests and riots on the motorway by hauliers returns to recur.

Precisely this had happened last March, with sortie and protests of a certain importance, before the government introduced the cut in excise duties. It is not known if the provision will be reconfirmed, but the thing is not to be excluded as early as this month and perhaps until the end of next June.
