Spain extends fuel relief Petrol discount may lag

Sep 29

RTVE says the government's extended fuel relief takes effect tomorrow with a twenty-cent-per-litre rebate. Diesel already receives that amount, whereas petrol's rebate rises from five to twenty cents. Petrol stations warn the fifteen-cent improvement will not be immediate because they first sell stock purchased with the smaller tax reduction. The broadcast previews implementation and retains that qualification. The anchor connects the price increase to the situation in the Middle East.
