Average EU diesel price hits record €2.23 a litre
PARIS — Diesel prices at pumps across the European Union (EU) have hit a new high of €2.23 per litre, up from €2.16 the previous week, an Agence France-Presse (AFP) analysis of European Commission data published Thursday showed.
The average price of diesel in the European Union has reached a record high of €2.23 per litre, according to an analysis of European Commission data by Agence France-Presse. This represents a significant increase from €2.16 per litre the previous week. The new peak translates to $9.63 per US gallon. The surge in diesel prices is attributed to the disruptions in crude oil supplies and refinery damage caused by the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine.
Nineteen EU countries, including Germany, France, and Italy, have registered record average prices, with Denmark and Finland reporting the highest rates at €2.56 per litre. The average price across the 27-member bloc has increased by around 40% since late February.
