Yes, yes, they’ve only recently put the price up for a bottle of butane gas, but that isn’t going to stop them putting it up again on the 1st of July, so that a bottle will cost you 16.43 euros!
This summer rise equates to a 5.8% increase, meaning that the price has gone up a total of 8.8% since January, bless their cotton socks.
It doesn’t appear to matter that the price of carbon fuels is dropping because of a dropping off in demand, due to the economic crisis.
When you consider that Spain has between eight and ten million butane users, then ‘somebody’ is going to pocket between 7.2m and 9.0m euros, thanks to this increment, and it’s not going to be the producing countries…
During 2011, the price rose every quarter: January 3.3%, April 6.0%, July 5.7% and October 1.96%, meaning that the price of a domestic butano bottle went up a total of 14.23%.
Did your income/salary rise by that much?
