It was its first decline after six weeks of recovery in the wake of oil prices, which plunged with the Covid-19 pandemic and then recovered. The unleaded 95 premium gasoline, for its part, sold for 1.3298 euros, down more sharply by 0.91 cents. As for the SP95-E10, which contains up to 10% ethanol, it dropped 0.38 cents, to 1.3189 euros. Finally, the SP98 was sold for 1.3913 euros, or 0.47 cents less.
Prices of fuel at the pump vary according to several parameters such as the price of a barrel of oil, the euro-dollar exchange rate, the level of stocks of petroleum products and demand, as well as taxes.
