Fuels, national average prices drop: ceiling effect and collapse of international prices

The effect of the "ceiling" on petrol and diesel prices introduced by Eni and Ip (from tomorrow also from Q8, while this morning the first "networker", Costantin, announced a "calmie") continues to show its effects on average national prices. Although, it should be added, in the last three days the international prices of petrol and diesel have dropped dramatically, losing a total of over seven cents per liter (petrol) and over nine cents (diesel). For this reason, at least in recent days, the impact of the "ceiling" on the accounts of the companies that apply it has been significantly reduced.

This morning 30 September the average price of fuel in self-service mode along the national road network is equal to €2.111/l for petrol (-15 thousandths compared to yesterday), €2.316/l for diesel (-19), €0.748/l for LPG (+1) and €1.886/kg for methane (+1). Overall, since Saturday the average prices of petrol have fallen by 4.8 cents, those of diesel by 6.1 cents.

On the motorway network the average self-service price is €2.138/l for petrol (-42), €2.345/l for diesel (-19), €0.886/l for LPG (+2) and €1.801/kg for methane (unchanged). In two days the overall drop is 7.6 cents on petrol and 5.6 cents on diesel. According to the usual survey by Staffetta Quotidiana, Q8 has reduced the recommended prices of petrol by two cents per liter and those of diesel by five cents.

Coming to the detail by sales method and brand on the data collected at 8am yesterday morning, considering all the approximately 21 thousand points of sale that communicate prices to the Price Observatory of the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy (road and motorway network together), it emerges that Eni has aligned its entire network to the "ceiling". These are the average prices charged processed by Staffetta: self-service petrol at 2,121 euros/litre (companies 2,106, white pumps 2,155), self-service diesel at 2,331 euros/litre (companies 2,318, white pumps 2,347).

Petrol served at 2,250 euros/litre (companies 2,269, white pumps 2,191), diesel served at 2,458 euros/litre (companies 2,482, white pumps 2,383). LPG served at 0.742 euros/litre (companies 0.748, white pumps 0.739), methane served at 1.891 euros/kg (companies 1.872, white pumps 1.869), LNG 1.722 euros/kg (companies 1.722 euros/kg, white pumps 1.739 euros/kg).
