Greece is one of the top ten countries in the world with the most expensive gasoline. At the same time, of the 20 euros spent on gasoline, more than half – 11 € – are taxes.
Our country ranks tenth in the world in terms of the cost of unleaded gasoline grade 95, and compared with the countries of the European Union, it surpasses Germany (1.79 euros per liter), Spain (1.61 euros per liter) and Portugal (1.74 euros per liter). liter).
In particular, the price of unleaded gasoline grade 95 in Attica and Thessaloniki reaches 1.90 euros per liter, while many complain that they are forced to strictly save fuel in order to make ends meet.

The increase in gasoline prices, as many note, is unjustified. Let us recall that in December 2021, world oil prices (Brent futures) were at the same level as today (80 € in 2021, 84 € in 2024).
