Latest news on petrol, diesel and gas prices this March 10.this is the market of energy carriers and where to charge cheaper.
Gas continues to reflect international tensions in the energy market Meanwhile, oil and gas have made strong moves in recent days.
The energy market is going through a period characterized by volatility.Oil, natural gas and fuels react quickly to any geopolitical change, and this sensitivity translates into almost instantaneous changes in the prices consumers and companies pay.
In recent days, experts and investors have been closely monitoring the quality of electronic products.As the price of crude oil rises in the international market, the results are gradually transferred to the service area.This doesn't happen right away, but it usually shows up quickly at the tap.
The recent crisis in the Middle East has revived concerns about space supply.Growing pressure between countries such as the United States, Israel and Iran has raised fears that international energy routes will be disrupted.The region is an important part of the global oil and gas supply, so any conflict that affects its infrastructure will have immediate consequences on the markets.
One of the most sensitive points is the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic maritime passage through which more than 20 million barrels of oil circulate every day.This stage connects the main producers of the Persian Gulf with the European and Asian markets.
The statements of US President Donald Trump, who also raised the possibility of "accepting" this maritime route, increased uncertainty.At the same time, French President Emmanuel Macron announced an international defense mission to deploy safely in the trade area.
Oil drops for the first time in ten days
The geopolitical tension is already showing in the markets.The European Brent crude oil barrel has seen a strong increase in recent sessions.
Oil prices briefly topped $118 a barrel that day, a level not seen since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in 2022. Subsequently, market growth slowed and the price closed below $100.
After Trump assured that "the war with Iran is almost over," the market responded with a big drop, reaching $84.50 before continuing.
At the time of this writing, the price of oil is around $90.69 a barrel, and it is still falling, which is the first decline since early March after reaching the highest level in years.This indicator is important because Brent acts as a reference to set the price of oil in a large part of the European market.
Así está el precio de la gasolina y el diésel en España
In Spain, the impact of rising oil prices is already being felt at the pumps, albeit somewhat late compared to international market movements.
According to the latest available data, the average price of 95 unleaded gasoline is 1,672 euros per liter, while 98 gasoline is 1,827 euros.Diesel, or Diesel A, continues to show an upward trend and has maintained its growth rate over gasoline in recent days, reaching an average price of around €1,790 per liter.
However, the final price may vary depending on factors such as the autonomous city, service station or business policy of each company.
The cheapest gas stations to fill up in Spain
Although it is increasing, there are service centers that cost less than the international average.
Among the cheapest to fill up with 95 gasoline, several places stand out in different parts of the country: the El Surtidor station, in Villaviciosa de Córdoba, offers this fuel for around 1,369 euros per liter, one of the lowest prices in Spain.The Elcampo gas station in Barbastro (Huesca) is among the cheapest, with a price of 1.41 euros per liter.Another economical option is Autoil in Castellón de la Plana, which costs around 1,427 euros per liter.
In the case of diesel fuel, one of the cheapest stations is Nuestra Senora de Belén Puebla de Sanco Pérez (Badajoz) with prices close to 1328 euros per liter.Also noteworthy are Hortifuc in Calasparra (Murcia) with around 1,339 euros and the Covilalba station in Villalba dels Arcs (Tarragona) where a liter of diesel costs around 1.36 euros.
Natural gas is increasing in Europe
The pressure on energy markets is not limited to oil.Natural gas is also experiencing significant growth in Europe.The price of gas for a monthly delivery on the Dutch TTF market, a key benchmark on the continent, recently exceeded 56 euros per megawatt hour.
This indicator is important as it directly affects the cost of electricity and energy bills for households, companies and industries.
Experts agree that the behavior of the energy market will largely depend on the development of the international conflict in the coming weeks.If geopolitical tensions continue or increase, oil, gas and fuel prices may rise.On the other hand, the relaxation of competition or guarantees in the supply of energy can stabilize the global market.
For now, uncertainty is still the main driver of energy prices.And this means that the cost of filling the tank will continue to depend on what happens on the international stage.
