Italy fuel prices surge as gasoline exceeds 2 euros per liter
Fuel prices in Italy have reached significant new highs, with gasoline self-service prices exceeding 2 euros per liter on the national road network and diesel averaging 2.116 euros per liter. On motorways, costs are even higher, with gasoline reaching 2.077 euros and diesel hitting 2.186 euros per liter.
Consumer associations, including Unione Nazionale Consumatori and Codacons, are calling for urgent government intervention. Specific demands include increasing the diesel excise reduction from 14 to 30 cents and implementing a 15-cent cut for gasoline to stabilize prices. Codacons warned that the increased spending for fuel could impact families by up to 1.8 billion euros during the July-August period.
Professional sectors are also reporting severe strain. Taxi drivers have warned they risk working at a loss because fuel costs are rising while service tariffs remain largely stagnant. Additionally, the Guardia di Finanza has intensified inspections to combat fuel fraud and ensure price transparency, reporting numerous interventions involving excise tax evasion and price irregularities at distributors.
