all queued up in San Marino
Code to distributors of San Marino. They have reappeared for a few days. Since the prices of gasoline and diesel have dropped compared to Italian ones. With tourists and people from Rimini lined up on the Titan for the classic full tank of fuel.
All queued
«That’s how it is – explains the owner of the distributor in via Serrone in San Marino -, the come and go of cars is continuous and in some time slots real queues are created. With tourists who even go up from the Riviera. Today, for example, a liter of gasoline, on the recommendation of the oil companies, is set at 1,549 euros, while a liter of diesel at 1,559, both served and self-service. Certainly less than in Italy. However, I would like to clarify that now it is like this: in July, however, prices were much higher even here with us: for example, on the 27th we were on 1,649 euros per liter for both diesel and petrol, while on the 8th we were even , at 1,779 euros for a liter of diesel and 1,849 for a liter of petrol ».
It borders Rimini
High figures for the Titan, crazy for Italy, if we think that in Rimini, at that time, people “ran” with full fuel tanks of over 2 euros per liter. Alberto Semprini, president of Figisc Confcommercio, the union of petrol pump managers in the province of Rimini, explains: «The Italian problem is that we, compared to San Marino, have excise duties. Which weigh on the final price, despite the 30.5 cents reduction introduced by the Draghi government, expiring in September, unless extended. In fact, we must not forget that this tax is still there and it is pure beautiful heavy: 47 cents plus VAT for the classic coupled “tax on tax”. Imagine what it would be if this excise were removed! The prices at the pump, which today are 1.71 euros per liter for diesel and 1.76 per liter for petrol, would plummet to around 1.18 euros per liter. A party for motorists, a drama, however, for the government because it would cause the state coffers to dry up ». In short, this explains why this gap is always very open compared to San Marino.
What prices
Distributor you go, surprising price you find. Until it drops below 1.5 euros per liter. As in the case of the gas station in via del Passetto in Fiorentino: «Today (yesterday ed) – the manager tells us – we are with diesel at 1,495 euros per liter and with petrol at 1,545 euros per liter, both served and self-service. And we have queues at the pumps, even with Italian cars ». Therefore, we are at an average of about 1.5 euros per liter. The owner of the Moricce road pump in Acquaviva confirmed: “We sell diesel for 1,589 euros per liter and petrol for 1,579 euros, on the service: for self-service, however, we are at 1,549 euros for petrol and 1,559 euros for the diesel. Italians? Of course there are, the queues that are created are also due to the presence of tourists who come from Rimini to fill up ». Area that changes, similar price that you find, like at the gas station near the sports field: “Diesel at 1,597 euros per liter, petrol at 1,599 euros”. But there are also those who set the price around 1.6 euros. “We sell diesel at 1,699 euros per liter and gasoline at 1,609 euros, both served and self-service,” says the gas station attendant on the street of the Censiti in Serravalle. «We are about 1,589 euros per liter for diesel and 1,599 euros for petrol, at self-service; for the service, on the other hand, it takes 21 cents more », relaunches the colleague in via Luglio in Borgo Maggiore.
