The price of the products rises fuels. There gas has returned to altitude 1.8 euros per litrerising by 3 cents compared to the end of 2024, under the weight of the increase in the cost of mixing the biofuels from January 1st: a tax worth around two cents per litre, he calculates Daily Relay. An extra cost charged to retailers and managers which «risks being entirely passed on to final consumers through an increase in prices of gas And diesel», states the Codaconsspeaking of “completely unjustified increases”, especially looking at the trend of oil prices.
«Compared to the end of 2024 – explains the consumer association – the petrolium records a slight rise, with the prices of Brent grown up 4% compared to the values at the end of December, and prices completely under control, far from the records achieved in past years”. In the face of this stability “there is instead a significant increase in price lists at the pump”: an increase of 3 cents per litre in a few days it equates to a greater expense on the supplies equal to +1.5 euros full, +36 euros per driver on an annual basis. Not to mention – adds the Codacons – the indirect effects linked to the higher costs of transport for them goods who travel by road and who represent the88% of products sold in Italy”.
Representatives of the plant operators Faib Confesercenti And Fegica they then point the finger against it Enilivesubsidiary of Eniwhich the increase of 3 cents per litre he did it «during the holidays, between December 25th and the January 1stin a completely unmotivated way.” Furthermore, the two federations of the petrol stations«precisely in the period of the year where the greatest demand is concentrated, thousands of branded distributors Eni have been left high and dry, with damage yet to be quantified for small management businesses and considerable inconvenience for motorists.
At this point, the fear, observes the Codaconsis that «the Italians are about to be attacked speculative increases of the beginning of the year which will affect not only the fuelsbut also the electricity and gas billsdespite the fact that at the moment there are no concrete elements capable of determining an increase in prices and tariffs”. Furthermore, the realignment of prices also hangs on the price lists excise duties foreseen by Structural budget plan but which has not yet materialized into a provision. Among the possible vehicles, in addition to the legislative decree on excise duties awaiting the opinions of the commissions Budget Of Room And Senatethere is also the hypothesis of an amendment to the decree A thousand extensions just hinged to Senate.
Returning to the price surveys of fuels, Daily Relay found the increase by Eni of two cents per liter of the recommended prices of gas And diesel. For Q8 the increase is one cent on diesel and for Tamoil of 2 cents on gas. Compared to the end of 2024, national average prices have thus increased by approximately three cents a litrewith petrol at high altitude 1.80 euros per litre in self-service mode and diesel fuel a 1.69 euros per litre. However, the LPG to 0.73 euros per litrewhile the methane jumps above altitude again 1.5 euros/kg (it was a 1.43 at the end of the year).
«The bloodletting of the fuels goes with that energetic», observes the deputy M5s Emma Pavanelli attacking «the government Melonswhich was supposed to abolish the excise duties on petrol” while “for the third year in a row the year begins with significant increases in fuel at the pump». If we add «the increases in electricity and gas billsfor which the cost ofenergy is on the rise of 30% already in this first quarter of 2025 for both families and businesses, the picture is well defined”, he concludes.
