The price of gasoline is approaching its high for the year in the midst of the mid-August exodus operation.
El precio por litro de este carburante supera los 1,70 euros, una barrera que no se sobrepasaba desde el inicio de la guerra en Irán
Fuel prices are approaching their highest level since the start of the war in Iran. The cost of a liter of gasoline has exceeded 1.70 euros (1.702), a barrier it had not surpassed since the start of the US and Israel conflict against the Islamic Republic, according to the European Union's latest oil bulletin, published on Wednesday.
This fuel has seen six consecutive weeks of increases and this week's data represents the third highest price so far this year. Furthermore, the cost per liter of diesel also increases, standing above 1.80 euros. These rises coincide with one of the peaks in travel this summer, as many Spaniards start their holidays or return home in mid-August.
According to data from the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT), 54.5 million long-distance road trips are expected in August.
