OPEC’s decision to cut oil production by 1.6 million barrels per day directly affects prices at fuel pumps at gas stations.

Consumers talking to the “jungle” cam express concern as a drop in the price of petrol has occurred, and again it is on an upward trajectory and they “see” nothing to go down again affecting their monthly budget.

It is noted that the market for liquid fuels rises and falls with the inability of citizens to calculate the price of gasoline. Gasoline prices are on fire as we head into Easter, making it even more expensive to go on trips.

Gas station owners estimate that the price will not exceed 2 euros in large urban centers, At least until the Easter holiday season.
