The average price of diesel continues to climb in Spain and has risen for the third consecutive week, while that of gasoline has fallen by 0.83%, according to data from the European Union Oil Bulletin published on Thursdays collected by Europe Press.
In this way, the average price of a liter of diesel in Spain remains for the fourth consecutive week above that of gasoline.
Specifically, the average price of a liter of diesel has increased this week by 2.07%, to rise to 1,921 euros, although at the moment it remains at a distance from the highs of the end of June, when it reached 2,141 euros per liter .
For its part, the average price of a liter of gasoline has resumed the declines, interrupted last week after chaining nine consecutive declines, and has fallen by 0.83%, to stand at 1.779 euros.
This average amount of both fuels includes taxes, but does not reflect the discount that came into force from last April 1 of 20 cents per liter.
Counting on this subsidy, the price of a liter of gasoline would be 1,579 euros, while that of diesel would be 1,721 euros, in both cases lower than what it marked at the end of March: 1,818 euros per liter in the case of gasoline and 1,837 euros for diesel.
Despite the reduction in prices recorded throughout the summer, fuel prices continue to be especially high compared to recent years at this point in the year. In the case of gasoline it is 25% more and in the case of diesel, almost 52%, without taking into account the current bonus.
Collecting the subsidy, the price of a liter of gasoline is 11.11% more expensive than in the second week of September 2021, while in the case of diesel the price is 36.04% higher.
With these levels, the price of unleaded gasoline of 95% remains in Spain below the average of the European Union, located at 1,821 euros per liter, and of the eurozone, with an average price of 1,899 euros.
In the case of diesel, the price in Spain is higher than the EU average, which is 1,908 euros, but lower than that of the euro zone, with a price of 1,945 euros.
Including the bonus of at least 20 cents per liter, the price of both fuels in Spain would be below the European average.
