What happened
JM's Sunday edition, published 18 October 2026, says the regional government is extending fuel support for companies and institutions until the end of the year as prices climb. Households are left out of that direct aid. The same report says road diesel will cost €2.085 a litre from Monday 19 October, and that gasoline 95 will also be above €2. JM puts the rise since January at 47.9% for road diesel and 32.7% for gasoline 95.
