Compared to the same period last year, diesel at gas stations has become 4 rubles per liter more expensive. At the same time, in many regions, the price for the first time exceeded the cost of premium gasoline (brand AI-98 and above).
As the Department of Energy press office explained, the change in diesel fuel prices is due to a seasonal factor in switching from summer fuel to more expensive winter fuel.
It is noted that on the wholesale market, winter diesel prices have not changed much compared to the end of last year, but the sales price has increased by 8%.
Experts attribute the rise in domestic market prices to the increase in diesel fuel exports to Europe. There is currently a major shortage of diesel fuel in the EU, which makes its export extremely attractive.
Experts predict that a slight increase in diesel fuel prices is possible in the next two months. But after the introduction of the European embargo, price growth stops.
