Since the start of the Iran war, higher road fuel prices have cost the EU an estimated €53 billion, according to a report published on Wednesday by Brussels-based environmental group Transport & Environment (T&E).
Most of that extra cost — €40 billion — came from diesel. T&E estimates that higher road fuel prices have added an average of €270 million a day to transport costs, including €203 million a day for diesel. The remaining €67 million a day is attributable to petrol.
