What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Italy's diesel tax is 48%, making it the highest in Europe excluding Malta, while its petrol tax is 51%. Despite having the highest excise duties, Malta reports the lowest pump prices in Europe due to managed prices. On October 19, Italy's petrol price was 2.015 euros per liter, compared to 2.228 euros per liter in France and 2.179 euros per liter in Germany.
