Eni Caps Fuel Prices in Italy as Government Pushes Refineries

Italian energy company Eni has set a price cap of €1.99 per liter for petrol and €2.19 per liter for diesel, according to headlines dated September 25, 2026. The government thanked Eni for the move, while the right celebrated it. Opposition parties, including the PD and union leader Landini, criticized the government, saying a real strategy is needed rather than publicity stunts. The price cap comes as Italy pushes refineries to increase fuel output amid a price surge and as diesel tax discounts are set to be reduced starting tomorrow.
