Andrea Innocenti The Ministry of Business and Made in Italy has announced a new wave of fuel price increases in Italy. Data, collected by the Ministry of Economic Development's Fuel Price Observatory (MIMIT), shows increases on both the national road and motorway networks, with prices approaching €2,5 per liter for diesel.
This growth is occurring in a volatile energy market environment, where even small changes in international crude oil prices can directly impact pump prices. Continuous monitoring by the Ministry allows users to receive up-to-date and detailed information, useful for planning travel and better managing their household budget.
National road network: the new average values
According to the latest data from September 27, 2026, the average price of self- service gasoline along the national road network is €2,159 per liter, slightly higher than the €2,158 recorded the previous day. For diesel, the average price rose to €2,377 per liter, compared to €2,357 yesterday.
Details on petrol and diesel
These increases, albeit just a few cents, signal an upward trend. The difference of 2,159 euros for gasoline compared to the previous reading of 2,158 indicates steady growth, while diesel saw a more marked increase, going from 2,357 to 2,377 euros . This jump is primarily due to higher refining costs and still-robust domestic demand.
Motorway network: diesel costs almost 2,5 euros
On the motorway network, prices show a similar trend. Self - service petrol prices reached €2,254 per liter, compared to €2,252 the previous day. Diesel prices , on the other hand, are approaching €2,459 per liter, up from €2,439 yesterday.
Comparison with the findings of September 24th
To put the trend into context, it's useful to recall the data from September 24, 2026, when the average price of gasoline on the national network was €2,154 and that of diesel was €2,338 . On the motorway network, gasoline was quoted at €2,245 and diesel at €2,419 . The comparison shows a progressive daily increase, confirming the persistent pressure on prices.
Staying informed about the data provided by the Ministry is essential for evaluating potential savings strategies, such as using more efficient vehicles or choosing alternative routes.
