ENI

Eni confirmed its self-imposed ceiling of €2.19 per liter for diesel and €1.99 for petrol, but made clear that the reintroduction of the consumption tax does not fully offset pump prices. With the removal of the roughly six-cent tax rebate, actual prices rose to about €2.25 for diesel and €2.05 for petrol. Q8 and Tamoil also said they would maintain the price cap this month; consumer protests and industry demonstrations by farmers and fishermen against high fuel costs were reported. » Plus sur finanzen.net

Eni has set a maximum price of 2.19 euros per liter for diesel and 1.99 euros for gasoline at its service stations, valid initially for 30 days from Sept. 28 with a possible extension until the end of the year. Q8 and Tamoil have followed the price cap after the government let the 6.1-cent diesel relief expire and instead introduced a system of mobile consumption taxes. High fuel prices have already sparked protests by farmers and fishermen in Calabria and Lampedusa. » Plus sur finanzen.net

Tamoil introduces a price cap for fuel, following announcements by Eni, IP and Q8 after an appeal from the government. The discounts are initially valid until the end of October and are intended to ensure citizens' mobility, while companies cite geopolitical crises as drivers of price rises. The state excise duty discount for diesel has been reduced and is to be replaced by a flexible mechanism. Transport companies and taxi drivers are threatening strikes despite the measures because of high fuel costs. » Plus sur finanzen.net
