This fall in prices leads to the application of the ratchet system. “This system involves an increase in the rate of the special excise duty on gasoline following a reduction in the maximum price of this product. Following the application of the ratchet system today (Tuesday, Ed), the rate of special excise duty on gasoline increases by 10.75 euros/1,000 liters from tomorrow (Wednesday, Ed). The total rate of excise duty will amount to 499.3305 euros/1,000 litres”, specifies the administration.
In addition, the maximum prices for diesel fuel (heating application) are also down from Wednesday: to 1.2137 euro per liter (-0.0188 euro) for less than 2,000 liters and to 1.1818 euro per liter ( -0.0188 euro) from 2,000 litres.
