Why It Matters
The government has announced the introduction of a mobile excise duty mechanism starting from 6 October.
In 6 days, in the wake of the discounts launched by Eni, Ip, Q8 and Tamoil, the average price of diesel dropped today on the ordinary network by 13 euro cents, rising to 18.9 cents on the motorway. For petrol the drop is 10.7 cents on roads and 18.8 cents on motorways. The savings for motorists thus rises to 6.5 euros on a full tank of diesel on the ordinary network, 5.35 euros on a full tank of petrol, while on the motorway the lower cost per full tank is around 9.4 euros for both diesel and green.
Codacons calculates this, after the new data released today by Mimit.
However - the association points out - not all the plants present in the area and linked to the brands that have launched initiatives to regulate price lists have joined the discounts, and there is still ample margin for further reductions in petrol and diesel prices on the network.
Meanwhile - Codacons recalls - on October 5th the excise duty cut of 6.1 euro cents on diesel will expire, and from the following day the mobile excise duty mechanism will come into force as announced by the government.
