Diesel fuel prices are approaching the threshold of 2.7 euros per liter in some areas of the country, according to data collected by the consumer association Codacons, which has compiled a regional map of price increases. The association has issued an appeal for urgent measures to protect families, suggesting among possible actions an intervention on excise taxes. According to the ranking released, Milan is among the cities with the highest prices, where diesel reportedly reached the highest levels nationally. The context is that of summer family departures, which could face increased transportation costs.
