Italy Announces Diesel Fuel Tax Cut.
Italy has cut the price of diesel fuel by 17 cents per liter. This discount will last until August 6th. The goal is to help people with rising fuel costs.
The Italian government made this decision because of concerns about inflation. Consumer groups estimate that drivers will save 8.5 euros on a full tank of diesel. The discount applies to diesel fuel only, and gasoline prices and tobacco taxes are not affected. The government plans to approve a new decree in the next two days. The price of diesel is currently above 2 euros per liter.
