ROMA (ITALPRESS) – For enterprises and families the energy shock caused by the conflict in the Gulf results in an increase of expenditure that exceeds 7 billion euros for fuels, electricity and gas, an extra cost of 100 million per day.

More contained the increase on gasoline (+200 million) and GPL and methane for autotraction (+30 million) – emphasizes the association of category -. Italy is on the podium of the ranking of increments with a rise of 31%, exceeded by Germany and Austria while for gasoline the price to the pump in Italy has recorded more contained increases (around 8%) compared to Germany, Austria, Finland, France and Spain.
