¿Por qué se ha encarecido más el diésel que la gasolina?
El gasóleo escala más del doble según los últimos datos del IPC. Los expertos apuntan a los exitosos ataques de Ucrania contra las refinerías rusas y a una mayor demanda
Gasoline prices have surpassed the €1.70 per liter mark, while diesel has surged past €1.82 per liter, marking a consecutive one-and-a-half month rise according to the latest European Union petroleum bulletin. The surge in gas oil costs has triggered the activation of the crisis prevention shield's safeguard clause to raise the tax rebate for this fuel to 20 cents per liter, up from the initially planned 5 cents.
This comes as diesel prices have increased by more than 15% on an interannual basis, compared to gasoline which has risen by 7.3% interannually. Experts quoted in the report attribute this disparity in price movement to higher demand for diesel in Spain, and particularly to market tensions in energy markets due to the wars in Ukraine and Iran.
