Petrol and diesel, prices and increases: how much more have we paid in a year

Fuel prices still rise, with petrol reaching an average of 2.075 euros per liter in self mode today and diesel rising to an average of 2.030 euros per liter, while in served mode petrol travels shipped to i 2.3 euros per liter (2.276 euros in some plants). This was reported by Codacons, which disseminated the numbers on the repercussions of the expensive fuel on the pockets of Italian families. Today a liter of green costs 28.5% more than in the same period of 2021, and for a full tank of petrol it is necessary to pay about 23 euros more – analyzes the association – It is worse for diesel, whose price rises by 37.5% on an annual basis with a higher cost of filling up to 27.7 euros. Considered a medium-sized car, a family now spends 552 euros more per year on petrol supplies, and even +664 euros per year on diesel fuel. Without considering the indirect effects on retail prices, of course. “We are in the presence of a national emergency – affirms the president of Codacons Carlo Rienzi – and the Government does not seem ready to take counter measures. The increases in recent weeks have been registered despite the significant drop in oil prices, today around $ 112 per barrel, demonstrating speculation that affects fuel prices. For this reason we have addressed a complaint to the Antitrust and 104 Public Prosecutors of the whole of Italy, and we await with confidence the opening of new investigations by the judiciary aimed at ascertaining possible offenses on the price lists at the pump “, concludes Rienzi.
