Fuel prices in Portugal have been continuously rising since the beginning of the war in the Middle East. This situation has directly affected Portuguese consumers, who face increasing costs when filling up their vehicles.

Over the last six months, the average price of diesel per liter has skyrocketed by 32%, representing a significant increase in the cost of living for Portuguese citizens. In the case of gasoline, the rise was 18%, also demonstrating a sharp growth trend.

Current values have already approached the historical highs recorded in 2022, highlighting the gravity of the current fuel market situation. This conjuncture reflects the geopolitical tensions affecting the global energy market.
