The background to the increase is, among other things, the war in Ukraine where the price of oil has risen and stricter requirements for biogas fuels.
At Christmas, the Riksdag voted in favor of a budget alternative for a tax reduction that would reduce the price of fuel by 50 öre per liter from 1 May.
But as prices continue to rise, the Riksdag has recently voted through a tax cut that will result in a price reduction of a further SEK 1.30.
The situation at the pumps: Few knew that the price had been reduced
SVT asked some people from Skåne at a gas station what they think about the new price of petrol and diesel.
But few even knew about the reduction.
- It is good that they reduced the tax, but they could reduce it a little more, says Kent Hultstrand from Bjuv.
Nevertheless, he intends to seize the opportunity.
- I will mow the grass, so I also take the opportunity to fill a spare can now that it is a little cheaper.
Öjvind Linden, from Ekeby, for his part, says that he is not so price sensitive.
- I fill up when I have been out driving.
There will be mostly car hits with this one.
On Tuesday, there will be car meetings in Löddeköpinge.
Öjvind Lindén likes to have the car fully charged and drives mostly for fun.
The next car trip will be the premiere at the car meeting in Lödeköppinge / Hög.
