Diesel goes back to costing €0.61 more per litre from Tuesday, after the expiry at midnight of the latest tax break on fuel. Without publication in the Official Gazette of the expected ministerial decree, the much-heralded mechanism of "mobile excise duties" remains on hold.
Filling up at the pump is officially more expensive, marking the complete disappearance of tax cuts on fuel for the first time since last March, when the first decree was approved following the outbreak of the conflict between the United States and Iran.
