Price increases are now a reality to which Italians have become accustomed, although it is difficult to resign oneself to a constant decrease in one’s purchasing power. For several months now, in fact, there has been nothing but talk about skyrocketing inflation And expensive prices which affected all sectors of the economy. Some recent studies, however, have examined average fuel prices on the main motorway routes and in all regions, drawing up some simple rankings to show where refueling is more expensive. The picture is quite clear and the Italian motorway where people spend the most on petrol is located in the Northern regions.
What is the Italian road where getting petrol costs the most?
Let’s go in order and start from the beginning. From 1 August 2023, following an intervention by the government, all petrol stations present on both urban and extra-urban Italian roads are obliged to display the average prices at regional and national level. This obligation was introduced to make consumers more informed and aware when choosing the refueling point at which to stop. But also to allow motorists to make a comparison and be able to choose which dispenser to stop at.
The introduction of these exhibitions allowed the well-known consumer protection association, the Codacons, to analyze the prices of fuel filling stations scattered on Italian motorways, noting that these are 30-35% higher than the averages of other European countries. Starting from this observation, Codacons has drawn up a ranking of the motorway sections where petrol costs more.
Which stretch of motorway costs the most to get petrol?
Last year, during the increases in fuel prices that occurred during the summer of 2023, the case of the refueling station on the A8 Milan-Varesewhere the price of petrol in self-service mode reached the record figure of 2.722 euros per litre.
A truly incomprehensible price and close to an unthinkable figure such as 3 euros per litre, very high especially for a do-it-yourself service.
This year, however, from the Codacons findings, it emerges that the most expensive motorway in terms of refueling was theA21 Piacenza-Brescia. Near Cremona, the cost of a liter of greenery in served mode has reached 2,549 euroswhile diesel was equal to 2,499 euros.

On the urban networkHowever, the situation goes against the trend and the most critical situation is recorded in a southern province, among other things in one of the smallest.
