Fuel prices are falling: Lazio is the region with the widest gap from the national average

In Lazio, self-service diesel stops at 2.241 euros per litre, 12.8 cents below the national average on Monday morning, while petrol at 2.045 euros (-10.7 cents). It is the region with the widest gap from the starting figure - 2.152 euros per liter for self-service petrol and 2.369 for diesel - i.e. the survey published by Mimit at dawn on 28 September, before the start of the discount campaign for the major brands (Eni, Ip, Q8 and, since yesterday, Tamoil).

Immediately behind, the price of diesel has decreased by over 12 cents per liter also in Liguria and Veneto, where it currently costs 2,246 euros. Liguria also has the cheapest petrol in Italy, at 2,043 euros (-10.9 compared to Monday). For the green one, Valle d'Aosta is also more than ten cents away, at 2,050 euros. Self-service diesel does not exceed 2.29 euros in any region, with the exception of the province of Bolzano.

In fact, among the price differences, Bolzano is in the rear: 2.328 euros for diesel and 2.121 for petrol, just 4.1 and 3.1 cents below the national figure on Monday. This is followed by Trento (2,284 and 2,085), Molise on diesel (2,276) and Basilicata on petrol (2,077). In the South, diesel fluctuates between 2.258 and 2.276 euros, between 9 and 11 cents below the average at the beginning of the week.

The composition of the networks also weighs on the differences, which changes from territory to territory. Taking the 3,847 Eni sales points as a reference, Lazio is the second region in terms of number of plants (367) after Lombardy (483). In Lombardy, however, prices are in line with the national average: 2,263 euros for diesel and 2,060 for petrol. Veneto and Sicily have networks of similar size (356 and 345 stations) but different outcomes: the first is among the most convenient regions, the second remains at 2,269 euros on diesel. In Valle d'Aosta, with just 17 plants in the group, petrol is among the least expensive.

However, average prices remain above the thresholds of 1.99 and 2.19 euros in all regions, including Lazio: 5.5 cents more for petrol and 5.1 for diesel. The measures do not cover the entire network and, even within participating brands, for affiliated distributors the price communicated is considered a recommended price.
