The prices of 95 gasoline and diesel are below other European countries in Spain. Is it good or bad news? It depends on what moment they are compared to. If the reference is the price they had in June 2022, they are positive. But this is not the case if the reference is the cost from a year ago. Something similar happens with energy: the reduction in prices in recent months can lead to a false perception: that the price of electricity is low. And anything farter from the reality. It is cheaper than months ago, but it is very expensive if we look further back. The price of gasoline in Spain On December 13, 2021, according to the Petroleum Bulletin of the European Commission , the price of 95 gasoline in Spain was 1,479 euros. 6 months later, on June 13, the increase took the price to 2,117 euros. According to the latest Bulletin, dated December 5, the current cost is 1,688 euros. That is, going to the gasoline pump is 14.
More expensive than a year ago, but this is 20.26% cheaper than last June. The current price of this fuel in Spain is lower than that of several surrounding countries, such as France (1,733 euros), Germany (1,801) or Italy (1,689), and higher than that of Portugal (1,652). These are the recipes of European countries to put out the fire of inflation: from gasoline discounts to Jamaica Mobile Number List checks for low incomes, transport credits or caps on the electricity bill Spaniards with gasoline-powered cars do not fare well in the percentage comparison, since this country is the one where this fuel has become more expensive in the last year. If, even so, it is still lower, it is because it started from very different points: from 1,479 euros per liter in Spain in December 2021 to 1,632 in France; 1,661 in Portugal; 1,671 in Germany; and 1,725 in Italy. Similarly, Spain is the second country (of the 4 analyzed.
Only behind Portugal (-23.87%), in which gasoline has dropped the most since June. The price of diesel in Spain Things are worse for owners of vehicles with diesel engines .
