Fuel prices are expected to decrease significantly, with diesel dropping 9 cents per litre and petrol falling 11.5 cents per litre. This reduction is driven by falling international oil prices and the strengthening of the euro against the dollar.
Diesel is expected to rise by about 1 cent per litere to 2.19 euros, while petrol is expected to drop by about 8 cents to 2.04 euros, starting next week based on market quotations. If confirmed, diesel will stay below its historic high of 2.22 euros reached on 23 September, and petrol will remain below the 2.19 euros recorded in February 2022.
Diesel prices are expected to rise by approximately 4 cents per litre starting next week, while gasoline prices should remain mostly unchanged, decreasing by about half a cent. Based on these estimates, the average price of diesel could reach 2.184 euros per litre, while gasoline remains near 2.115 euros per litre.
