So “as a percentage, simple 95 gasoline was announced on the portals 2.2% above the efficient price and simple diesel was announced 0.8% above the efficient price,” he said.
The entity stressed that, “still compared to the previous week”, with regard to discounted prices, its average prices published by the Directorate-General for Energy and Geology (DGEG), “simple 95 gasoline showed a deviation of -0 .3% compared to the Efficient Price and -2.9% for simple diesel”.
