Petrol and diesel up 20 groszy per litre in a week as Middle East tensions drive prices

Prices of 95-octane petrol and diesel have risen by 20 groszy per litre in the space of a week. Analysts at e-petrol.pl attribute the increase to tensions in the Middle East. An additional factor is the expiry of the government's "Ceny Paliw Niżej" (CPN) fuel-price support package, which had previously cushioned the market against larger increases.
