The story so far as of 7 October 2026
On September 25, 2026, Eni announced a price cap of €2.19 for diesel and €1.99 for petrol, effective from September 28. On October 6, diesel prices rose by 6.1 cents due to the reinstatement of a full excise tax, pushing pump prices to €2.25. The absence of a decree to utilize VAT windfall contributed to this increase. However, on October 7, diesel prices fell to €2.21 as refined product quotations declined, with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni hinting at potential tax cuts to stabilize prices further.
