The higher average values were recorded in Prefecture of Cyclades (2.337 euros/liter), in the prefecture ∆ωδεκανήσου (2.234 euros/liter), in the prefecture Lefkada (2.189 euros/liter), in the prefecture Cephalonia (2.211 euros/liter) and in the prefecture Evrytania (2.252 euros/ liter).
In Attica the average price on August 2 was 2.123 euros/liter and in Thessaloniki 2.106 euros/liter.
The price is imported as oil producers did not increase production due to recession and now that demand is growing internationally due to holidays, there is an artificial increase in price since it is a stock market product, Mr. Papageorgiou told ERT.
“Greek refineries sell fuel according to international prices”
From Crete, the vice-president of Heraklion gas sellers, Fotis Doxastakis, confirms that transport costs burden the situation on the islands. In Crete the increase is not so blatant although due to smaller gas stations and consumption there is a difference, said Fotis Doxastakis and added: “We are shrinking our profit but the consumer does not understand it. Daily appreciations in international prices do not facilitate stabilization. Greek refineries sell fuel according to the international prices that are fixed for the whole of August”.
Compared to the countries of Europe, Greece remains the champion in fuel prices in the eurozone as it is in second place in terms of accuracy after the Netherlands, but where incomes are much higher. Greece ranks third in accuracy across the European Union, behind the Netherlands and Denmark where incomes are much higher.
