  "account": "Spain leads the price hike of fuels in Europe after progressive withdrawal of subsidies, according to the latest data from the EU Petrol Bulletin. The cost of gasoline and diesel in Spain is nearing their annual peaks during the peak tourist season, when millions of road trips are made. The EU data shows a general increase in prices coinciding with tensions rising in the Strait of Hormuz. However, this rise is not occurring at the same intensity across all regions. Since the start of summer, over the past six weeks, gasoline prices in Spain have risen 18.4%, and diesel 21.1%, both above the EU average increases of 8.8% and 17.3% respectively. Spanish pumps are among the fastest to climb across the continent, although both fuels remain comparatively cheaper than in other locations.",
