Gasoline
and diesel
have fallen again during the last week to register average prices of
1,754 and 1,733 euros per
liter, applying the discount of 20 cents from the Government, their
lowest levels in the last two months
at the gates of starting the operation August departure.
In addition, according to data released by the European Union (EU) Oil Bulletin, which includes the
average price
registered at more than 11,400 Spanish service stations between July 19 and 25,
the price of both fuels fell below the barrier of 2 euros per
liter even if the public discount was not applied.
With these values, the
cost of gasoline has decreased by 3.9%
in the last seven days, while
diesel is 2.2%
cheaper than a week ago.
Thus, during the last seven days,
gasoline
marked its lowest price since the penultimate week of May, when it was paid at
1.74 euros per liter
, while
diesel
or not cost so cheap since the beginning of June, when it was at
1,716 euros
.
Both fuels
are also below the prices registered at the end of March, when the Government established the
bonus of 20 cents per liter
for all consumers.

In addition,
if the mandatory discount
established by the Government is excluded,
gasoline
would drop below 2 euros per liter for the first time in two months, with an
average price of 1,954 euros
;
while
diesel
falls below this barrier for the second consecutive week, standing at
1,933 euros.
Behind the
high levels
that gasoline and diesel continue to register since the beginning of the year is mainly the
rise in oil prices
, a trend that has been reversed in recent weeks and that is beginning to be progressively reflected in the
final price of fuels
.

To cushion the impact that the
rise in gasoline and diesel prices
is having on citizens, the Government has extended until the end of the year the bonus of 20 cents per liter of fuel for all consumers.
BETWEEN 19 AND 21 EUROS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN IN JANUARY
The
escalation of both fuels
has caused the price of
gasoline
to have increased by nearly
19%
since the beginning of the year, compared to
29%
that
diesel
has become more expensive .
With
current prices
, filling an average 55-liter tank with
gasoline
is slightly over
96 euros
, while with
diesel it stands at 95 euros
, which means paying about
19 euros more than at the beginning of 2022
if gasoline is used, and 21 euros if diesel is chosen.
However, thanks to the Government bonus, consumers
save about 11 euros when filling a tank
of this type, whether they use gasoline or choose diesel.
