Diesel accounts for most of the additional cost of road fuel. The European Federation of Transport and Environment estimates that during the study period, EU diesel car owners spent an additional 142 euros, while German long-distance trucks increased their costs by an additional 236 euros per week. The European Transport and Environment Federation, an environmental organization headquartered in Brussels, released a report on Wednesday saying that since the outbreak of the conflict in Iran, the rise in road fuel prices has caused the EU to spend a total of about 53 billion euros more. Of this additional cost, €40 billion came from diesel. The organization estimates that the increase in road fuel prices increases transportation costs by an average of 270 million euros per day, of which diesel increases by 203 million euros per day, and the remaining 67 million euros per day comes from gasoline.
