The latest hike in fuel prices has also been reflected on the sign at a station in Isparta. The price per liter of diesel rose from 99 liras and 20 kurus to 102 liras and 80 kurus, following an increase of 3 liras and 60 kurus.
As the station's two-digit price sign was insufficient to display the new figure, a "1" sticker was applied to the beginning of the diesel price. Thus, the price per liter, which exceeded 100 liras, was displayed on the sign using a temporary method.
At the same station, the price per liter of gasoline also rose from 78 liras and 50 kurus to 82 liras and 60 kurus. It is noted that the consecutive increases affect both the daily expenses of vehicle owners and other sectors through transportation and production costs.
Mehmet Çamur, who came to the station to buy fuel, stated that the hikes are straining his budget, saying, "The hikes affect us a lot. If it were lower, if it were more affordable, it wouldn't strain the budget, it would be better, but right now it is very straining."
Another citizen, Hasan Acar, pointed out that the increase in petroleum products has a wide area of impact. Acar stated, "A hike means an extra burden on the citizen. When you say petroleum, there are many petroleum products. Therefore, everyone is affected."
