Well for Codacons the drop in fuel prices in August, but still is not enough. “The reduction of petrol and diesel prices along the network is positive for the millions of citizens who move in the car in these days to reach the holiday resort”, explains the consumer association. “However, we believe that there are still no enough: there are large margins for a further reduction of the lists to the pump, also in consideration of the fact that the oil quotations have fallen by -16.7% from June to today, while in the same period the prices of petrol and diesel have just reduced by -2%”, shows the Codacons, specifying: “it is true that the oil prices are not the only index that determines the price that determines the price of the price of the price of the price. Pump fuels, but at the same time such a strong reduction in crude oil should have influenced more on the lists practiced to the public “.
