In our neighbors, gasoline prices have skyrocketed to over $1.50 a gallon.

Na bencinskih črpalkah v Milanu so se cene goriva v Juli 2026 znatno podignule, pri čemer je cena za liter bencina na nekaterih mestih presegla 2,6 evra. Najvišja cena, 2,635 evra, je bila zabeležena na črpalki v predelu ulice Via Correggio. Cene so bile visoke tudi na drugih mestnih črpalkah, zlasti na tistih ob mestni obvoznici, kjer je bil tranzitni promet povzročil dodatno narastanje cen. Mediji poročajo, da so te cene presegle prejšnje rekorde, ki so bili zabeleženi na začetku leta 2026. Ta narast cena ima vpliv na vsakdanje življenje prebivalcev, ker povečuje stroške prevoza in vpliva na cene drugih življenjskih potrebščin.

In Milan, Italian drivers have been hit with shocking fuel prices as the cost of a litre of gasoline has surpassed 2.6 euros. On July 25, 2026, reports from local media indicate that some petrol stations in the city have recorded record prices, with one station on Via Correggio charging as much as 2.635 euros per litre. This marks a sharp increase compared to previous months, with fuel costs exceeding two euros per litre at most urban filling stations. Drivers report that the highest prices are found along the city’s perimeter roads, where traffic congestion traditionally leads to higher rates. Fuel prices across Italy have reached unprecedented levels, surpassing earlier records set at the beginning of 2026. According to Italian media, these price spikes have significantly impacted daily life, increasing transportation costs and consequently affecting the prices of other household necessities. The surge in fuel costs has created a financial strain on residents, particularly those who rely heavily on personal vehicles for commuting and errands. Meanwhile, in Slovenia, farmers are facing their own crisis as agricultural fuel prices have risen by 45 percent this year. Agricultural organizations have called on the government to take immediate action. Between January 25 and July 21, energy prices have surged sharply, with diesel and heating oil experiencing the most dramatic increases. Farmers are currently in the peak season of agricultural work, including harvesting grains, preparing land for autumn crops, and planting potatoes, corn, and grapes. Tractors and other farm machinery consume large amounts of fuel daily, with annual consumption on many farms reaching several thousand litres. The economic situation for farming households has worsened further due to poor harvests and low purchase prices for many agricultural products. High fuel costs have also affected beekeepers, who are in the height of their seasonal activities. With the need to transport hives to different locations and maintain them regularly, beekeepers often rely on personal vehicles, which makes them vulnerable to rising fuel prices. Agricultural organizations are urging the government to implement measures to alleviate the burden on farming businesses. They point out that several European countries have already introduced direct financial aid, reimbursement of fuel costs, lower taxes, and other tax relief measures. Some nations are even working on systemic solutions at the European Union level to ease the impact of high energy prices on agricultural competitiveness. At the Ministry of Agriculture, officials explain that Slovenia is expected to receive approximately 2.7 million euros from the European Union to help mitigate the effects of rising fuel and fertilizer costs. Once the EU publishes its implementation guidelines, the ministry will collaborate with agricultural organizations and other stakeholders to prepare assistance programs for farmers. These measures are expected to become available in the second half of the year.

Oil farmers are auctioning: call to the government

Kmetje v Sloveniji soočajo z najvišjimi cenami kmečke nafte letos, kar je podražilo za 45 odstotkov. To pride v času največje porabe goriva, medtem ko kmetijska gospodarstva zaključujejo žetev žit in pripravljajo se na novo sezonu. Visoke cene goriva poslabšujejo ekonomsko stanje kmetijskih gospodarstev, kar vpliva tudi na čebelarje. Kmetijske organizacije pozivajo vlado, da pripravi ukrepe za obvladovanje stroškov. Na ministrstvu za kmetijstvo so pojasnili, da Slovenija lahko prejema 2,7 milijona evrov iz Evropske unije za pomoč kmetijskim gospodarstvam, kar bo na voljo v drugi polovici leta.

Why objectivity (65): The article has a somewhat sensational tone, referring to the situation as a 'šok' (shock) and using phrases like 'rekordno vrednost' (record value) to emphasize the severity of the price increases.
