Fuel prices in Europe: the cost of petrol and diesel abroad
To make comparisons easier this chart shows all petrol and diesel prices
in Euros. But payment must be made in local currency for countries not using
Euros.
The prices for petrol relate to the average for 95 octane fuel. Remember that
fuel is always dearest on motorways and usually cheapest in supermarkets.
Supermarket petrol stations are often closed on Sundays, bank holidays and
during the late evening and night. Although they often have automatic pumps they
rarely work with UK credit cards. Make sure you keep your tank topped up outside
working hours unless on motorways, where fuel is always available.
Because of the difficulty of obtaining accurate data the chart is updated about
once every 3 months. Most recent update
early August 2010.
Since our previous update in April 2010 prices have not changed a great deal,
with the changes being inconsistent across Europe. Some countries, such as
Austria and France, have seen prices fall by about 5% whilst in other countires
such as Greece and Portugal, prices have risen by a similar amount. In other
countires such as Luxembourg and the Netherlands prices have remained pretty
static.
