According to forecasts released by ACP - Automóvel Club de Portugal, the average price of diesel is expected to increase by 3 cents and petrol by 1.5 cents per litre.

If the forecasts for next week are confirmed, the average price of diesel should be €1.588/l while that of 95 petrol should be €1.726/l, says the same source.

It should be remembered that the sector's forecasts are made based on the assumption of maintenance of the extraordinary tax reduction measures applied by the government, to mitigate the increase in prices.
