Eni sets a ceiling on fuel prices: 2.19 euros for diesel and 1.99 for petrol

MILAN – In the midst of the crisis linked to high fuel prices, Eni has decided to independently set a cap on prices at the pump. The company has in fact set a maximum limit (price cap) on the price of fuels marketed by Enilive equal to 2.19 euros per liter for diesel and 1.99 euros per liter for petrol. This is, the company recalls, approximately 17 cents less than current average levels. The price cap - adds Eni - "is related to the tax relief on excise duties in force and will be applied starting from 28 September, for an initial duration of 30 days, with the possibility of extension until the end of the year depending on market and supply trends".

Today's prices

A ceiling that arrives while according to data from the Mimit Observatory, prices are stable after days of increases. The average price of fuel in 'self service' mode along the national road network is today equal to 2.154 euros per liter for petrol and 2.338 euros per liter for diesel, the same levels as yesterday. On the motorway network, however, the average self-service price is 2.247 euros per liter for petrol (slightly higher than yesterday's 2.245 euros) and 2.421 euros per liter for diesel (from 2.419 yesterday). The discount in force on diesel excise duties is currently equal (including VAT) to 12.2 cents per litre, from tomorrow until 5 October it will drop to 6.1 cents.
