Fuel prices rose significantly in July
Fuel prices have taken a clear turn upward in Finland. According to recent statistics, the prices of diesel and gasoline were significantly higher in July than they were a year ago.
The price of diesel rose by 25.1 percent in July compared to the previous year. The price of gasoline has also become significantly more expensive, as the price of 95-octane gasoline rose by 18 percent compared to a year ago.
According to the statistics, the average price of fuel, including taxes, was approximately 2.1 euros per liter in July. This price applies to both diesel and 95-octane gasoline. The rise in prices directly affects the everyday lives of many Finns and the costs of driving.
Fluctuations in fuel prices are generally influenced by the price of crude oil on the world market and taxation decisions. Consumers should be prepared for the fact that fuel costs may remain at a high level in the near future as well.
