The increase in oil prices is also quickly reaching the petrol pumps . The increases recorded on the price lists are reflected in the average prices charged at the petrol and diesel pumps, which jump to their highest levels since the beginning of April .
Self-service petrol stands at an average of 1.748 euros per litre, self-service diesel at 1.670 euros per book, while self-service petrol at 1.886 euros per litre and self-service diesel at 1.806 euros per litre. Green petrol on some motorways has already broken through the threshold of 2.3 euros per litre on self-service . Consumers are talking about speculation but Assopetroli is playing it down : in light of the latest figures, no speculative dynamics are emerging. Instead of fuelling unfounded controversy - they add - we invite consumers, operators and the media to use the available tools and to promote an informed and aware culture of mobility.
But the Ministry of Enterprise wants to see clearly so much that the Guarantor for the surveillance of prices , whose powers were strengthened with the Transparency decree, has decided to convene the Rapid Alert Commission already on Wednesday. For crude oil, prices have skyrocketed after the decision of the United States to support Israel by bombing Iranian nuclear sites. Brent on the London market, and the main US Wti contract in a short time have reached the highest levels since January.
The impact on fuels has been rapid and consumers are definitely alarmed. A full tank - the National Consumers Union calculated - costs 2 euros more in 7 days . On the motorway - Codacons verified, having monitored the data provided by distributors and published on the dedicated Mimit website - petrol in self-service mode has already broken through peaks of 2.3 euros per litre at various distributors, and in many motorway stations even self-service petrol is dangerously close to 2 euros per litre.
The war that broke out in Iran - says a study carried out by the Center for Training and Research on Consumption and Assoutenti - is being used as a pretext (in the absence of real impediments such as the blocking of production or the closure of the Strait of Hormuz) for speculative phenomena, but the worst is yet to come, and the ongoing conflict risks having direct repercussions on the pockets of Italian citizens and businesses.
According to analysts, a possible closure of Hormuz would bring oil to 100 dollars a barrel, a hypothesis that would have devastating effects on fuels: at such levels, gasoline would cost an average of 2,024 euros per litre in Italy.
