The maximum price of heating diesel (50S) will drop sharply on Saturday, by more than 28 cents per litre. This means that an order of 2,000 liters will show some 570 euros less.
The new maximum price of heating diesel amounts to 1.1046 euros per liter, for an order of at least 2,000 liters, announced Friday the Federal Public Service Economy. Currently, it is still 1.39 euros per liter, a record. The maximum price for orders of less than 2,000 liters will fall to 1.1352 euros per liter on Saturday, also a decrease of more than 28 cents. Heating diesel has become more expensive since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24th. The maximum prices have been above 1 euro per liter since the beginning of March.
Orders sometimes doubled before this announcement
The reduction in the price of heating diesel scheduled for Saturday is good news for consumers but also for delivery people. They were faced in recent days with many orders of smaller quantities because of the very high price. Deliveries have even doubled in some companies.
“We are bound by quotas that are imposed on us“, explained Catherine Parage, manager of a heating oil resale company. “It’s quite complicated in terms of managing rounds. Trying to deliver customers as quickly as possible to avoid unnecessary increases.“
With this announced drop, the manager can therefore breathe a little.
