There is no one to stop them. Fuel prices continue to rise unstoppable breaking daily records. Both gasoline, which is trading at 2,099 euros 95 and 1,961 this Tuesday, are moving at hitherto unknown levels after registration. More than 30% increase since the start of the Ukraine war. The only consolation is that the province of Alicante stays within a price range within the state average and is far from the levels achieved in other regions such as the Balearic Islands, Vizcaya or La Coruña.
Data provided by the Ministry of Ecological Transition leaves no room for doubt. Fuel prices are out of control and there is no change in trend on the horizon, at least for now. While gasoline has been breaking unstoppable records since mid-last month, diesel started doing so last week.
This dynamic means that, in the first case, the bonus approved by the Government on March 29 has already been amortized, as the price is currently 28 cents higher than it was in effect on April 1, when the measure came into effect. However, even though the cost of diesel was only 11 cents more than that date, if this climb continues, everything shows that the effect of the bonus on this fuel will end in a short time.
However, the state prices within the state average. Prices this Tuesday in Alicante 2,091 Euros for petrol and 1,966 Euros for dieselLeaving 27 regions at higher prices and 25 regions at lower prices. First in the petrol rankings are the Balearic Islands, where it costs 2,163 euros, followed by 2,161 in Vizcaya or 2,153 in La Coruña. Regarding diesel, 1,988 euros from Vizcaya also take the cake, followed by Ourense with 1,985 euros and Madrid with 1,982.
On the opposite side are Ceuta, Melilla and the Canary Islands., with prices ranging from 1,519 euros to 1,736 for petrol and 1,479 to 1,656 for diesel, given that fuels are subject to lower taxes in these regions. Then, Teruel with 2,048 Euros for gasoline and Lleida for diesel with 1,927 points.
But prices remain on a rising streak as the holiday season approaches, so drivers will need to rummage more than ever before to travel.
