This year is a particular and particularly difficult year. Starting from January 1, 2022, there is no talk of anything other than the increase in the cost of fuel, both gasoline and diesel.
The price has now skyrocketed, both for self-service and for served.
This is why many Italian motorists have chosen not to use their car and to travel by public transport. On the other hand, only in this way can you try to save fuel and wear of the vehicle and its components.
What happened to an Italian distributor that went haywire
The Italian population would be ready to really do anything in the desperation caused by the price increases, what happened just a few days ago at a petrol station that suddenly gave away fuel until the end of the supply is clear and obvious demonstration of this.
When the first motorists realized what was happening they immediately contacted friends, relatives and acquaintances informing them. Thus began the gas pump assault, everyone made free fuel, harming the owner of the gas station. There are even those who, after having filled the petrol cans, have also filled up cans and other cans for supplies.
The event took place on Monday, due to technical problems which obviously hundreds of motorists have taken advantage of without getting too many problems. Many have managed to get free fuel, securing their fuel for weeks. The result is a damage of as much as € 20,000 that the owner of the petrol pump will now have to pay.
The serious and sad episode took place in Eboli, in the province of Salerno. As a result of this, of course, investigations have begun, the investigators are now viewing all the recorded images to identify all those who have stolen the fuel.
Consumers’ concern grows, soon the cut in excise duties may be a distant memory
Over the past few weeks, consumer concern has increased because we are getting closer and closer to the end of the agreement that has to do with the cut in excise duties. Consequently, with the fateful day, the cost of gasoline and diesel that is already skyrocketing could even exceed 2 euros per liter.
What we are experiencing now is certainly the most difficult time for everyone, but perhaps the worst is yet to come. Who knows what will happen and how many will reach bottom in the coming weeks, both due to the post-pandemic crisis and the Russia-Ukraine war, which at least for the moment involves us indirectly with devastating blows.
