Gasoline, the excise tax cut remains at 17 cents until August 25th.

The Italian government has decided to extend the reduction of excise duties on diesel fuel by 17 cents until August 25, continuing a measure initially introduced on July 28. This follows data showing that diesel prices have risen slightly, reaching an average of €2.10 per liter on national roads. The move aligns with ongoing efforts to lower fuel costs for consumers. Vice Premier Matteo Salvini emphasized the importance of reducing excises, arguing that funds should come from large Italian banks rather than from smokers or young people. He proposed using these resources to support those who rely on vehicles for work and travel. In contrast, Angelo Bonelli, a representative of the Green and Left alliance, criticized the government’s energy policies, stating they have made Italians poorer and accused Salvini of opposing the government despite being part of it.
