Fuels, historical record for petrol: 1.60 €

It seems never-ending race to the top of the price of gasoline, which in their day today has set a new record for reaching to touch € 1.598 per gallon and beyond all other peaks recorded in recent years. In some regions, especially southern Italy, the pump price may be higher due to additional regions.

The reasons for this trend are clearly linked to the delicate political and social situation of Libya, a major supplier of oil (and gas) in our country. The consequences of the tensions and clashes avutisi the north African country, where for weeks during a violent protest by some people to drive from power the current leader Gaddafi could result in an increase in the cost of certain goods, with the ' rising inflation and a not insignificant burden on the pockets of families.

If the trend of increase will remain constant, the expenditure for fuel and heating could become exorbitant, as explained by some consumer groups, who have noted that, within a few months, there has been a price increase in double-digit percentage. ADOC, for example, has calculated that the increased outlay for transport fuels and heating for households would amount to 1,200 € a year, so as to have asked the government to intervene by reducing excise duties, VAT and implementing the freezing liberalization of the distributors no logo, which is usually lower their prices at the pump.

How do you explain President ADOC, Carlo Pileri: "We have long asked the government to take action to reduce the excise duty and VAT to freeze. It is then necessary to implement the liberalization of distributors also no logo on the highway and in major cities. Vending no logo the price of gasoline is on average lower by 5.8%, about 8 cents less for diesel, while you save 7 cents.

It should also increase competition and provide no license to sell oil products to small dealers. " According Pileri, moreover, with these increases by leaps and bounds, the price of green within a couple of months could exceed fee € 1.70 per liter, still going to weigh on the budgets of most of those forced to use the car as a daily primary means of transport.
