Combustible prices have been on a relentless rise for eight consecutive weeks, with diesel increasing by 24% and gasoline by 20%. As the holiday season draws to a close, Spanish families face a steep uphill battle, as the energy crisis stemming from the conflict in the Middle East and the prolonged blockade of the Strait of Hormuz takes a toll on their purchasing power.
The average price of gasoline stood at 1.86 euros per liter this week, 1.8% higher than the previous week, while diesel averaged 1.72 euros, up 1.5%. According to the latest EU Petrol Bulletin, the cumulative price increase since the beginning of July, following the government's decision to return VAT to 21% on fuels, is almost 24% for gasoline and 19.8% for diesel, pushing prices back to their March-April peak and casting a gloomy outlook for consumers on the cusp of the summer vacation return operation.
