In the midst of the Iranian war, fuel prices are rising day by day. In the Basque Country, diesel is now EUR 1,767 per litre and petrol EUR 1,649. The Spanish Government approved aid when these fuels were EUR 1.91 per litre and EUR 1.81 per litre respectively by 2022.
In the midst of rising tensions in the Middle East, fuel prices are once again at a time of pressure reminiscent of the onset of the energy crisis in 2022. According to the latest data fromthe Ministry for the Ecological Transition, on 8 March petrol stood at EUR 1,649 per litre and diesel at EUR 1,767 in the Basque Autonomous Community.
Petrol is still below the peak reached in the spring of 2022, when it exceeded EUR 2 per litre and EUR 1.82 per litre set on 8 March of that year, while dieselhas been relocated to levels very similar to those recorded at that time and has once again become the most volatile fuel.
However, the starting point is different in the two crises, since by 2022 prices began to rise from EUR 1.53 and EUR 1.64 and this year EUR 1.5 below both fuels.
In order to contain the impact of this increase, the Spanish Government adopted on 29 March 2022 a package of urgent measures, including a bonus of 20 cents per litre, which entered into force on 1 April and which mitigated part of the impact on consumers' pockets.
These measures were taken when fuels were paid at around EUR 2 per litre, diesel at EUR 1.91 and petrol at EUR 1.81in the CSC, i.e. EUR 0.221 and EUR 0.146 respectively from current prices.
In a week,the prices ofe rregons in the CSC have risen to EUR 0.3. In particular, this has been the increase in diesel, which has increased from EUR 1,467 per litre in seven days to EUR 1,767. In the case of petrol, the escalation has been EUR 0.151 in the same period.
