Italian petrol prices hold steady as diesel rises slightly

Italy’s average self-service petrol price stayed at €2.000 per litre on 9 November, according to the government’s fuel-price monitor.

Diesel rose slightly to €2.232 per litre, from €2.223 the day before.

These averages cover the national road network; on motorways, petrol averaged €2.028 and diesel €2.287 per litre.

The government said a price cap agreed to by major fuel companies was keeping prices below €2 for petrol and €2.20 for diesel across much of the road network.

The figures come as a cut in fuel excise duties is due to end in two days.

The price cap appeared to be holding as the tax cut’s end approached, but the figures do not say what prices will be afterward.
