Fuel prices move away from annual highs ahead of the August 15th holiday exodus

Fuel prices in Spain have stabilized and are currently moving away from their annual highs ahead of the August 15 holiday travel period. This shift follows a week of price increases that were linked to a reduction in special tax rebates for fuel.

Separately, in the Dominican Republic, electric scooters are increasingly being used in mixed traffic alongside trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles. These vehicles are noted for their similarity to motorcycles in design and utility, though they currently operate without the requirements of license plates, registration, insurance, or driver's licenses.
