Refueling has never really been fun, that’s for sure. But it is true that for more than two years it has become even worse. And it is not for nothing that the prices of gasoline and diesel have increased significantly, which clearly makes life difficult for motorists who have to face this surge. So much so that today many of them no longer have the means to fill in as often as before, and therefore have to skip certain trips insignificant And the trend doesn’t seem to change for now…

Stable price

In fact, prices still remain very high due to war in Ukraine as well as conflict in the Middle East, not to mention cutting oil production to keep tariffs high. In short, the situation is very complicated, and it directly affects motorists, the last links in the chain. Therefore, prices still remain high. However, the latter have also remained fairly stable over the past few weeks, hovering around €1.80 per liter for petrol and diesel combined. Which, however, remains quite high, as you’ve no doubt noticed.

Falling oil

Currently, a liter of unleaded 89 costs an average of 1.8992 euros, while diesel costs 1.8200 euros. Overall, fuel prices fell slightly over the year, although SP95 E10 still rose 0.7%. Diesel, in turn, fell in price by 4.6%, although it was the most expensive in several months. The reason is the fall in the price of oil, a barrel of which now costs about 80 dollars. The price has been revised downwards after reaching $95 earlier in the year.
