The price of fuel in our country has increased sharply in recent days, even exceeding the 200 lek mark.
More specifically, at most gas stations, a liter of diesel is currently being sold for 206 lekë, the highest price since mid-May, when the board decided to lower it below 200 lekë.
Gasoline has also increased, currently retailing at 189 lekë, one of the highest prices in several weeks.
Meanwhile, gas is the only product that has not fluctuated. Since the time it increased from around 50 lek to 69 lek per liter, this product has not decreased.
Crude oil prices rose to a six-week high on Wednesday as fears of further supply disruptions intensified after US forces struck Iranian military targets for the 11th consecutive night, while oil tankers were forced to divert in the Red Sea after warnings from the Iran-backed Houthi militia.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose $1.67, or 2%, to $86.01, the highest since June 12.
