Blue-dyed diesel will also go up by one cent, costing €0.99 per litre, as will liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), costing €1.15 a kilogram for tanks and €1.71 a kilogram for cylinders.

Without the government’s measures, petrol would cost €1.70 per litre, diesel €1.68, blue-dyed diesel €1.07, and LPG €1.39 per kilogram for tanks and €2.02 for cylinders.

The government also amended a decree on excises for fuel and electricity, recalling that last year it did so nine times for unleaded petrol and diesel and once for heating oil, and ten times this year.

Under the amended decree, valid until 12 September, the excise is reduced by €56.31 per 1,000 litres of unleaded petrol and by €23.13 per 1,000 litres of diesel.
