The war in Ukraine and the tensions in Russia will cost motorists dearly. With the increase in fuel prices that was already underway before the outbreak of the conflict, petrol and diesel are preparing to weigh even more on the pockets of those who use the car every day. As evidenced by a simulated research conducted by Facile.it, based on mUP Research data, in the first 2 months of 2022, there was an increase of 22% compared to the previous year in the refueling phase of the car, with an increase Of 50 euros.
The war between Russia and Ukraine has then led to the price of fuel to rise further, with an average expenditure of about 275 euros (they were 228 euros last year) for those who own a petrol car and of 245 euros (they were 199 euros in 2021) for those traveling on diesel. Given the complicated international scenario the bill could be even higher in the coming months; considering the current prices, an Italian motorist could spend, in a year, over 1,750 euros to fill up a petrol car and more than 1,560 euros for a diesel one, that is about 20% more than to 2021. With prices so high, it is not surprising to see how many Italians are trying to economize by trying to use their vehicles less; even before the start of the conflict, the survey commissioned by Facile.it from the institute mUp Research had highlighted how 72% of respondents had started to reduce car trips.
