Diesel prices in Portugal will increase while petrol prices fall from Monday, according to Público. The newspaper reports that both movements will be slight.
The change follows a government intervention in the ISP, the tax applied to petroleum and energy products. According to dn.pt, the government acted to cap the drop in petrol at five cents while keeping a four-cent rise on diesel.
The Automóvel Club de Portugal (ACP) has published its price outlook for the week of 14 to 20 September, covering the same period.
Broader context around Portuguese fuel costs has drawn attention. Euronews.com reports that diesel prices in Portugal have hit records, while Spain has introduced a discount of 0.20 euros. Separately, leak.pt has raised the question of whether fuel could reach three euros per litre in Portugal.
The Público report does not specify the exact per-litre prices drivers will pay, and no figures beyond those cited above were available.
Drivers should watch the official price tables published at the start of next week, and any further government changes to the ISP, for the final amounts at the pump.
