Fuel prices rise in March in the Azores

The prices of gasoline, diesel and butane gas will rise again in March in the Azores, according to a dispatch published today in the Official Gazette.

Gasoline goes up by 3.1 cents per liter, diesel by 2.7 cents per liter and butane gas by 0.3 cents per kilo.

The Azorean executive justifies the adjustment in the maximum retail price with the “recent variations in the international market of reference prices for petroleum and energy products”.

In January and February, fuel prices in the Azores had already risen.

The price of butane gas, which had not increased since July 2021, now has monthly updates, with a new calculation formula.

From March 1st, gasoline will cost 1.58 euros per liter in the Azores, 3.1 cents more than in the previous month, while diesel will cost 1.506 euros per liter (2.7 cents more).

The price of colored diesel for agriculture and fishing, defined in another order, will also increase by 2.7 cents per liter in March.

Colored and marked diesel used in agriculture will now cost 1.135 euros per litre, while the price of colored and marked diesel used in fishing will be set at 0.945 euros per litre.

As for butane gas, the increase in March is 0.3 cents per kilo, in the different types.

Butane gas sold to the public, at the retailer's establishment, in bottles of 26 liters or more, will now cost 1.895 euros per kilo and that sold in bottles of 24 liters, made of light materials (up to eight kilos of containers), 2.091 euros per kilo.

Piped butane gas costs 1.895 euros per kilo and bulk butane gas costs 1.493 euros per kilo.

The maximum prices of petroleum and energy products in the Azores are "changed on the 1st of each month and in amounts equivalent to the variation in the monthly European Price (PE) value".

In December, the Azorean executive increased the Tax on Petroleum and Energy Products (ISP) by 9.8 cents per liter on gasoline and 5.8 cents per liter on diesel.

ISP is now charged at 59 cents per litre for petrol and 40 cents for diesel.

On June 5, the Azorean executive had already increased the ISP tax by 2.7 cents per liter on gasoline and 10 cents on diesel.

The same happened in March 2023, when the ISP increased by 10 cents in the Azores for both fuels.

The tax had fallen, in the region, by nine cents on gasoline and 11.3 cents on diesel, in August 2022, after also having registered reductions in November 2021 and April 2022.
