The price of gasoline rises by 20% and diesel by 24% since the start of summer
The cost of both fuels has seen two consecutive months of increases and is just a few cents away from its annual maximum.
Fuel prices in Spain continue to rise, with the average price of gasoline now over 1.72 euros per liter, a 0.9% increase from last week. Diesel prices have also increased by 1.6% to 1.86 euros per liter. According to data from the EU, these prices were recorded between August 18 and 24. Since June, gasoline prices have risen by 19.9% and diesel by 23.8%. The price hikes come as the US imposes new sanctions on Iran, including targeting 60 individuals and entities.
