Petrol prices at 6 month highs. Why costs skyrocket – Time

The prices of refined products immediately begin to rise again, while Brent settles just below 90 dollars. New round of increases over the weekend on the recommended price lists of the major brands. The national averages of prices charged at the pump rise sharply: self-service petrol (national average) returns above 1.9 euros/litre for the first time since 19 October, not an encouraging sign, in view of the US driving season. Diesel fuel also rises, to 1.81 euros/litre. A real blow to the pockets of Italians, with costs soaring and for a maximum of six months for green. According to the usual report by Staffetta Quotidiana, on Saturday Eni increased the recommended prices of petrol and diesel by one cent per liter. Same move for Tamoil, while for Q8 we record an increase of one cent per liter on petrol.
