Adnkronos (Adnkronos) –
Diesel prices at the pump have reached another record high, following the excise duty increase effective today, Friday, September 18, introduced by the government with the decree that reduced the car tax. With the new excise duty, up four cents per liter (4,8 including VAT), the national average self-service price is nearly €2,3/liter.
As of 9:00 a.m., not all distribution operators have yet updated their prices with the new rates, so the full effect of the reduction in the "discount" will be seen in the coming days. Oil and refined product prices are falling on the Mediterranean market.
