Eni introduces fuel price cap to counter rising pump costs

Eni will introduce a fuel price cap through Enilive starting September 28. Gasoline will be capped at €1.99 per liter and diesel at €2.19 per liter. The measure is initially set for 30 days and may be extended through the end of the year.
Eni will use Enilive to set maximum prices for gasoline and diesel. Starting September 28, gasoline will be priced no higher than €1.99 per liter, and diesel no higher than €2.19 per liter.
The limit is initially planned for 30 days. It may be extended through the end of the year. The company is taking this step as pump costs rise.
Drivers and households that depend on cars could see some relief at the pump if the maximum prices are below what they otherwise pay. Businesses with vehicle fleets may also gain more predictable fuel expenses. The effect may depend on how widely Enilive applies the limits and whether other sellers respond. Consumers with less access to Enilive could feel less benefit. Because the measure is temporary, its longer-term budgeting impact could be limited.
