The prices
Today, the Ministry of Enterprises reported a national average price of 2.161 euros per liter for diesel and 1.968 euros for gasoline. On the one hand, this means that the average price of diesel has exceeded the level of March 14, 2022 (2.154 euros) with the war in Ukraine; on the other hand, that regular gasoline has reached the maximum level recorded since the beginning of the escalation in Iran (the historical record currently remains at 2022).
The most expensive and cheapest regions
Above the psychological threshold of 2.2 euros, only the province of Bolzano is currently located, where diesel reaches 2.202 euros; Sicily and Friuli Venezia Giulia stop just short, tied at 2.190. At the opposite extreme, Marche remains the cheapest region, with 2.139 euros per liter: 6.3 cents less than Bolzano.
