The Ministry of Business and Made in Italy announces that, based on the latest data collected by the Mimit Observatory on fuel prices, as of today – Wednesday 30 September 2026 – the average price of fuel in self-service mode along the national road network is decreasing to 2.111 euros per liter for petrol and 2.316 euros per liter for diesel. On the motorway network, however, the average self-service price is 2.138 euros per liter for petrol and 2.345 euros per liter for diesel.
Eni’s price cap, Ip and Q8
The decision by Eni, Ip and Q8 to apply a “price cap”, progressively extended to their sales points, is resulting in a significant gap compared to the other plants: in the distributors involved, the price charged is 1.99 euros per liter for petrol and 2.19 euros per liter for diesel.
Boschi: «Private individuals give the discount»
«Meloni had promised to cancel the excise duties, a promise not kept. After four years, the oil companies are thinking of cutting the price of petrol. Every euro saved by families is welcome, but the government doesn’t try to register a discount that it hasn’t decided on and isn’t paying for.” Thus Maria Elena Boschi, president of the deputies of Italia Viva-Casa Riformista, a 4 in the evening.
«If this reduction was really thanks to the authority of the government, where was this authority in the months in which petrol was skyrocketing and Italians were becoming impoverished? And be careful not to create false expectations: the discount lasts thirty days and excludes road haulage, fishing and agriculture. The goods will continue to travel on trucks and the shopping cart will remain very heavy. Meanwhile, the government that promised to cancel excise duties is also letting the small discount that was left expire. And in a few weeks, millions of families will once again have to deal with heating and bills that many already struggle to pay today. Competition between companies is therefore welcome. But at least let’s call things by their name – he concludes – private individuals give the discount, Meloni made the promises on excise duties”.
