Petrol is to increase by around 2.5 cents per litre on
Monday, and diesel will be 1.5 cents more expensive per litre, according to CNN
Portugal.
If these values are confirmed, the rise in the price of
diesel will counteract the declines seen in recent weeks. As for petrol, which
has seen prices remaining stable since September 5, there will be an increase
again.
This week, a litre of simple diesel was sold on average in
mainland Portugal for 1.735 euros, so next week it should rise to around 1.75
euros. At the beginning of this month of September, the price was at 1,887
euros per litre.
Simple gasoline has a price of 1.683 euros per litre this
week, so it should rise to a value of around 1.708 euros next week, when at the
beginning of September it was 1.78 euros per litre.
