Filling up a diesel car in Asturias costs, on average, three euros less than before the war broke out in Ukraine. The drop in prices in recent weeks has placed the liter of diesel in the region’s service stations at an average of 1,447 euros, far from the maximum of 2,129 euros that were registered last July and below 1,507 euros. that the pumps marked on average one day before Russia invaded Ukraine, according to data from the Ministry for Ecological Transition.
With the entry of 2023, the Government eliminated the general reduction of 20 cents in the liter of fuel that it had approved to cushion the increase in the cost of fuel due to the war, but it has not been noticed excessively because so far this year the price trend It has been descending in parallel to the drop in oil.
In some “low cost” service stations in Asturias, a liter of diesel is already sold for less than 1.3 euros and filling a 55-liter tank of a diesel car now costs on average 79.58 euros in Asturias, three euros less than before the war. By contrast, the price of gasoline, which has also fallen, has not yet recovered its pre-war levels. The average price of a liter of 95 octane fuel is 1,631 euros, when before the war it cost 1,619 euros. Filling the tank still costs 70 cents more.
The consumption of gasoline and diesel is increasing in Asturias this year. The Asturian Society for Economic and Industrial Studies (Sadei) has just published the data corresponding to the month of March, in which there was an increase in consumption of 4% compared to the previous month and almost 16% compared to March of 2022. However, it must be taken into account that a truckers’ strike took place that month – caused precisely by the price of fuels – which blocked economic activity in the region.
