España lidera el encarecimiento de los carburantes en Europa tras la retirada progresiva de ayudas
Los expertos también achacan el fenómeno a una fiscalidad más baja, que hace los surtidores sean más reactivos a las cotizaciones internacionales
Spain is leading the surge in fuel prices across Europe as the country gradually phases out subsidies, according to new data. The rise in gas prices coincides with the resurgence of tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, according to figures from the EU's Petrol Report, which compiles weekly price information from all member states. Spanish gasoline prices have jumped 18.4% over the last six weeks, while diesel prices have risen 21.1%, both figures higher than the EU average of 8.8% for gasoline and 17.3% for diesel.
Despite being comparatively cheaper than other European markets, Spanish fuel prices are among the fastest rising in Europe, but they still represent a significant increase.
