Introduction
The Italian energy giant, whose control is public, has set a price cap on the cost of fuels marketed by Enilive: 2.19 euros per liter for diesel and 1.99 euros per liter for petrol. A cap that "will be applied starting from September 28, for an initial duration of 30 days, with the possibility of extension until the end of the year". Good news for consumers which, however, has displaced the distribution market and - according to Figisc - risks putting operators in difficulty too.
Meanwhile, new increases in fuel prices, both on roads and motorways. The Ministry of Business and Made in Italy announces that, based on the latest data collected by the Mimit Observatory on fuel prices, today, Sunday 27 September 2026, the average price of fuel in 'self-service' mode along the national road network is equal to 2.159 euros per liter for petrol (from 2.158 yesterday) and 2.377 euros per liter for diesel (from 2.357 yesterday). On the motorway network, diesel is increasingly closer to 2.5 euros per litre: the average self-service price is 2.254 euros for petrol (2.252 yesterday) and 2.459 euros for diesel (from 2.439 yesterday).

Eni has introduced a cap on fuel prices at its stations, following the example of TotalEnergies in France, to ease the cost for consumers during the price crisis. However, the initiative has sparked protests from independent operators, who denounce unfair competition and risk being excluded from the market, while consumer associations ask that other companies follow the example and hope for a structural reform of the Italian energy sector.
