Despite the fluctuating weather, there was a surge in traffic on Spanish roads during Easter. This holiday period, estimated to involve at least 16.5 million trips, saw a slight increase in gasoline and diesel prices. Gasoline prices have risen for 10 consecutive weeks and are now close to last Easter’s levels, while diesel prices are slightly lower than last year. At the beginning of the second phase of Operation Exit, a liter of 95 gasoline costs 1.63 euros, up 1.24% from the previous week, and a liter of diesel costs 1.5 euros, up 0.52%. Gasoline prices have risen by 2.32% in the last month, while diesel has become 1.35% cheaper.
Drivers filling their tanks before their trips will pay around €88.88 for gasoline and €84.26 for diesel at some service stations in Spain, which can vary depending on the location and availability of raw materials like oil or natural gas used to produce fuel products such as gasoline and diesel fuel products that are manufactured using refineries located in different parts of Europe including Spain’s refineries like Repsol SAU and Total SAU among others that supply fuel products to different parts of Europe including Spain’s market with lower taxes and raw material costs that make fuel products cheaper compared to other European countries.
Despite the slight increase in fuel prices during this holiday season, both fuels remain far from their maximum levels reached during the summer of 2022 when gasoline cost €104 per liter and diesel cost €97 per liter respectively due to high demand from tourists visiting Spain during peak seasons like summer holidays or Christmas holidays which leads to higher production costs for refineries located in different parts of Europe including Spain’s refineries that supply fuel products to different parts of Europe including Spain’s market with lower taxes and raw material costs that make fuel products cheaper compared to other European countries but also due to geopolitical factors such as conflicts or tensions between major oil-producing countries like OPEC or non-OPEC countries that affect global oil supply chains leading to fluctuations in oil prices which indirectly affects fuel prices since most fuels are made from crude oil or natural gas used as raw materials for refining processes at refineries located in different parts of Europe including Spain’s refineries which could lead higher production costs if there is not enough supply available due
