“At 1.80 the unleaded from Saturday (21.6.2025) – if the barrel reaches $ 100 or petrol It will be approaching, perhaps exceeding 2 euros – in plus 20% of gas, “said Nikos Papageorgiou, President of the Attica Station Association, speaking Wednesday (18.6.2025) on ERT’s first program.
“Last week the price of unleaded gasoline was at 1.73 euros, an average price nationwide and 1, 71 for the large urban areas, namely Attica and Thessaloniki. Today, however, is 1.76 – where the increase in the impact of the war between Israel – Iran has begun to appear slowly, “said Papageorgiou.
“The information I have today is that the refineries will proceed tomorrow (19.6.2025) to the first major increase to capture the crisis of the Middle East in the domestic market. Which means – I see – that tomorrow at least those stations supply gasoline and oil the price will be at least 2 to 2.5 minutes more expensive. In other words, by Saturday he is sure to go to 1.80 euros, at almost all stations in the country, “he added.
Asked at what level we will see oil prices (if the straits of the hormone are closed and if a tanker is hit), Mr Papageorgiou said characteristically that “there will be some foreign houses, but also Deutsche Bank, who had said about $ 100 in her report”.
“Now about what this means for the Greek market: First of all, we will see natural gas launch, its price is the flagship of energy products, because it has the highest consumption in industry. In the second year we will see fossil fuels. Gasoline will exceed 1.90 euros per liter will reach 2 euros, and diesel will exceed 1.70 euros per liter, which means an increase of 20 to 25%, which will be passed not only to vehicles, will be passed on to shipping, shipping, aircraft, aircraft. In gas there is an increase of 10% at this time. I think there will be another 10% next week and it seems that this will be stabilized (…), “the president of the stations concluded.
