"It's complicated": fuel price increase worries drivers

Correio da Manhã7 September 2026 at 10:27

Fuel prices rose again this Monday, with increases of 12 cents for diesel and 10 cents for gasoline. This increase represents another burden on consumers who were already facing growing costs with mobility.

Drivers express concern about this situation, saying that "it's complicated" dealing with successive increases in fuel prices. The rise directly affects the daily lives of thousands of Portuguese people who depend on their cars to get around.

The current economic context, marked by instability in energy markets, has contributed to volatility in fuel prices. This upward trend has been putting pressure on drivers' family budgets.
