The portal "GazetaExpress.com" published today (October 15) an article claiming that the price of gasoline and gas has increased by 1 cent compared to the day before (October 14).
However, after verifying the facts, hibrid.info has confirmed that this claim made by "GazetaExpress.com" is not accurate.
In the announcement made today (October 15) by the Ministry of Industry, Entrepreneurship and Trade (MINT), it is clear that only the price of gasoline has increased by 1 cent compared to that of the previous day (October 14). Therefore, the price of oil and gas has remained the same.
Meanwhile, the other portal "Periskopi.com" that published the "GazetaExpress.com" article also incorrectly claimed in the headline that the price of oil has increased, while the content states that "compared to yesterday, the price of oil has remained the same."
This portal, like "GazetaExpress.com", has also incorrectly claimed in its content that the price of gas has also increased.
Excerpt from the article published on the portal "GazetaExpress.com":
According to the MINT decision, the maximum allowed price for the sale of diesel is 1 euro and 79 cents, for gasoline 1 euro and 41 cents, and for gas 75 cents.
Compared to yesterday, the price of oil has remained the same, while gasoline and gas have increased in price by 1 cent.
