In the last few days, more cars have been driving around the gas stations for fear of a sharp risein prices. Some petrol stations havealso run out of fuel.

An example of this has been living in Bermeo  in the last few hours: they have run out of gas supplies, and some drivers have not been able to refuel.

The service stations, however, have not wanted to arouse anxiety and have sent a message of tranquillity. Nuria ekue, president of the Bizkaia Service Stations Association, has pointed out that there will be no shortage of supplies, as she has stressed on Radio Euskadi.

Although no problems are anticipated at the level of shortages, there isa significant increase in fuel prices.

Brent's barrel of oil has soared by just over 2% at its opening this Wednesday and accumulated a revaluation of more than 12% du in the last three days, after the US and Israel launched a joint military offensive against Iran last Saturday.

The geopolitical context has been complicated in recent days. Oil and merchant ships are increasingly having trouble crossing the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's oil flows.  In addition, gas prices continue to rise, a remarkable increase that will be felt in the homes of the Basque Country.
