ItalyEni says its cap sits 17 cents below average pump prices.
The cap holds diesel at €2.19 and petrol at €1.99 a litre for 30 days from 28 September.
Eni says Europe’s refining shortage, with nearly 30 refineries closed in 15 years, and the Iran war’s supply squeeze drive prices.
The cap is tied to an excise relief that falls to 6.1 cents a litre on 26 September.
The relief expires 5 October, and Eni will extend the cap to year-end only if market trends allow.
