The government is reducing the extraordinary tax discount on diesel by 1.5 cents per liter, while maintaining the current discount for unleaded petrol. This adjustment, published in the Diário da República, follows an expected significant decrease in diesel prices for the coming week. The move aims to balance fuel costs for consumers while managing the temporary tax relief measures.
