Drivers could face a new fuel price hike at petrol stations from Tuesday, 18 August. According to unofficial information, diesel prices are expected to rise the most, which will directly impact transport costs and citizens' daily mobility.
According to available estimates, diesel prices could increase by 11 cents per litre. This change is part of a broader context in which the Government recently changed the model for determining oil derivative prices. Instead of the previous price alignment every two weeks, new prices are now determined once a week, which could lead to more frequent fluctuations in the market.
In addition to diesel, the price hike is also expected to affect Eurosuper 95. This type of fuel could become 7 cents more expensive, bringing its price to 1.63 euros per litre. This price change is part of a wider trend affecting all major types of fuel available on the domestic market.
The price hike is also expected to significantly impact farmers and fishermen. For them, the price of blue diesel is key, which could also rise by 11 cents. Blue diesel, according to current estimates, should cost 1.29 euros per litre, which could increase production costs in these sectors.
It is important to note that the new prices have not yet been officially confirmed. Final amounts should only be known after the Government's decision, which will provide official confirmation of changes in oil derivative prices. Until then, drivers and entrepreneurs can expect additional costs in their budgets.
