El precio de la gasolina se acerca a su máximo del año en plena operación salida de mediados de agosto
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
Gasoline prices approach their annual peak as mid-August operations commence. The cost of a liter of gasoline has surpassed 1.70 euros (1.702), a barrier not breached since the US-Israel conflict with the Islamic Republic began, according to the latest EU petroleum bulletin published on Wednesday. This fuel has seen six consecutive weekly increases, marking the third highest price so far this year.
Additionally, the cost per liter of diesel also rises, surpassing 1.80 euros. These hikes coincide with one of the summer travel peaks, as many Spaniards begin their vacations or return home in mid-August. According to the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) data, 54.5 million long-distance road trips are expected in August.
