Alarm for the pockets of the people of Castellón: fuels soar with gasoline more expensive than diesel in some places

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General5 September 2026 at 05:08

Fuel prices have soared in Castellón, with gasoline becoming more expensive than diesel in some locations. This situation arises with the return to normalcy after the holiday period, in addition to the usual "cuesta de septiembre" (September challenge) and the increase in inflation.

The beginning of the new month brought changes in fuel price control measures. The government increased the diesel A subsidy from 10 to 20 cents per liter, representing a reduction of 10 cents in the final price for consumers.

In the opposite direction, the gasoline subsidy was reduced from 10 to just 5 cents per liter, contributing to the increase in the price of this fuel. This reduction of support contrasts with the increased aid for diesel, creating a situation where gasoline has become more expensive than diesel in certain areas.

The 'never-ending work' of the Mediterranean corridor still has no date for its commissioning: Adif explains the reasons

The Mediterranean railway corridor continues without a defined date for commissioning, with Adif explaining the reasons for the delays. The start of the school year is directly affecting the number of passengers on Cercanías services between Castelló and València on line C6. Renfe announced that during this month, up to seven additional services will be gradually implemented, even using second-hand trains from the Civia 465 model, coming from Cercanías services in Madrid, which in some cases are already more than two decades old, which has generated controversy.
