"It's complicated": Drivers feel indignant about new fuel price rise

Correio da Manhã4 September 2026 at 17:25

Drivers in Portugal express indignation over a new fuel price rise. The situation is generating concern among motorists who face growing costs with mobility.

A citizen identified as Popular, who drives 20 kilometres per day, revealed to CMTV that he decided to fill up the tank before the new price increase took effect. The interviewee considered the situation complicated, trying to anticipate the price rise to minimize expenses.

The fuel increase directly affects Portuguese family budgets, especially those who depend on the car as an essential means of transportation for their daily lives.
