Fuels, rising prices on roads and motorways. Diesel fuel more expensive in all regions, in some even by 2 cents per litre

According to the latest data collected by Mimit's Observatory on Fuel Prices, today the average price of fuel in self-service mode along the national road network rises to EUR 1.792 per litre for petrol (EUR 1.789 yesterday's price) and EUR 2.184 per litre for diesel (EUR 2.178 yesterday's price). This was announced by the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy. On the motorway network, however, the average self-service price is €1.829 per litre for petrol (yesterday €1.825) and €2.203 per litre for diesel (yesterday €2.191).

Meanwhile, on the afternoon of Thursday 9 April, Eni, Q8, Ip, Tamoil and Api were summoned to the Ministry of Enterprise at 4pm. The government will ask the major oil companies to immediatelyadjust fuel prices at petrol stations after the ceasefire of military operations against Iran. The Guardia di Finanza ascertained 73% violations on operations carried out between 12 and 25 March. Under the lens of the antitrust nucleus 247 investigations along the entire supply chain.

The National Consumers Union reports that 'prices instead of falling, today, as yesterday, continue undaunted to rise. This is yet another demonstration of how people continue to cheerfully speculate on the skin of motorists. Today, in fact, according to the Mimit data just published, fuel prices, both diesel and petrol, are rising everywhere, both in the road and motorway networks. In Calabria, we are breaking through the 2.2 euro threshold for diesel,' observes Massimiliano Dona, the president of the consumers' association. "Prices should have already fallen yesterday, since, after Trump's declarations on the two-week truce, at 1am last night oil (Wti) had already fallen by 10% and at 2am by 18%. Yesterday then oil closed in a nosedive in New York at $94.41, with quotations losing over 16.41%. Yet no one, on average, reduced prices,' he noted.

According to the association's study based on regional averages of fuels, in self-service mode, calculated today by Mimit, for diesel the biggest rises between yesterday's and today's prices are for Abruzzo, + 80 cents for a 50-litre fill-up, Emilia Romagna and, bronze medal, the motorway network. For petrol, the worst region in terms of price variation is still Abruzzo, then Emilia Romagna and in third place Sardinia and the motorways.
