New Year, old problems: this Monday, fuel prices have risen again: diesel up to two cents, gasoline – three cents.
“The dynamics of prices in euros indicates a rise in the price of diesel fuel to two cents per liter, while the price of gasoline should rise to 3 cents per liter,” a source in the sector told Multinews.
However, it should be remembered that the dynamics of costs depends on each gas station, brand and area in which it is located.
And there are changes this year. The price of fuel is constantly rising and falling and changing every week depending on the price of raw materials. And while prices can vary from station to station – since the price set on the network must also take into account the level of competition, supply and demand in each market – there is no doubt that values have reached record values this past year.
Consumers will pay a new carbon tax of € 0.54 on petrol and € 0.58 on diesel. But drivers will have to prepare for other climbs.
The carbon tax freeze ends in March, with the Portuguese Association of Petroleum Companies (Apetro) pointing to an increase of four to five cents per liter since then (excluding VAT).
The oil and energy products tax (ISP) is also expected to rise by one cent per liter for diesel and two cents per liter for gasoline.
