Euronews Business takes a closer look at the latest fuel prices.<br \/>\n    <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-content c-article-content--business js-article-content\">\n<p>Brent crude oil prices have been above $100 recently following the joint US\u2013Israel strike against Iran.

Where are petrol and diesel the cheapest and the most expensive?<\/p>\n<p>According to the European Commission\u2019s Weekly Oil Prices Bulletin released on 2 April 2026, the average price of Euro-super 95 petrol in the EU is \u20ac1.871 per litre while diesel (gas oil) is \u20ac2.076 per litre. These prices reflect the situation on 30 March.<\/p>\n<h2>Most expensive diesel in the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany<\/h2>\n<p>Within the EU, diesel prices per litre range from \u20ac1.21 in Malta to \u20ac2.46 in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Netherlands, the highest diesel prices are found in Denmark (\u20ac2.36), Germany (\u20ac2.29), Finland (\u20ac2.27) and Belgium (\u20ac2.23).<\/p>\n<p>Diesel prices are also above the EU average in Austria (\u20ac2.20), France (\u20ac2.19), Ireland (\u20ac2.18), Sweden (\u20ac2.15), Lithuania (\u20ac2.12) and Greece (\u20ac2.12).<\/p>\n<h2>Cheapest diesel in Malta, Hungary and Slovenia<\/h2>\n<p>Malta is an outlier, with the lowest diesel prices at \u20ac1.21 per litre as the next cheapest countries are Hungary (\u20ac1.62), Slovenia (\u20ac1.62) and Bulgaria (\u20ac1.62).<\/p>\n<p>It is also below \u20ac2 per litre in Slovakia (\u20ac1.69), Spain (\u20ac1.78), Cyprus (\u20ac1.84), Croatia (\u20ac1.88) and Czechia (\u20ac1.97).<\/p>\n<h2>Highest petrol prices mirror diesel price leaders<\/h2>\n<p>Petrol (Euro-super 95) prices per litre range from \u20ac1.34 in Malta to \u20ac2.33 in the Netherlands. This shows that both petrol and diesel prices are highest and lowest in the same countries.<\/p>\n<p>The countries with the highest petrol prices are largely the same as for diesel. A litre of Euro-super 95 costs \u20ac2.23 in Denmark, \u20ac2.13 in Germany, and \u20ac2.05 in Finland.<\/p>\n<p>Petrol prices are also above \u20ac2 per litre in Greece (\u20ac2.05) and France (\u20ac2.01).<\/p>\n<p>While Malta (\u20ac1.34) has the lowest petrol price in the EU, it is not an outlier as in diesel, since Bulgaria follows closely at \u20ac1.44.<\/p>\n<p>Euro-super 95 prices are also below \u20ac1.60 per litre in Slovenia (\u20ac1.51), Hungary (\u20ac1.54), Spain (\u20ac1.56), Slovakia (\u20ac1.58) and Cyprus (\u20ac1.58).<\/p>\n<h2>LPG motor fuel prices<\/h2>\n<p>On average, the price of LPG motor fuel in the EU was \u20ac0.841 per litre. Italy (\u20ac0.66) has the lowest price, while Croatia (\u20ac1.26) has the highest.<\/p>\n<p>Comparing fuel prices before the US\u2013Israel strike, which started on 28 February 2026, with early April, petrol rose from \u20ac1.64 on 23 February to \u20ac1.87 on 30 March. <\/p>\n<p>Over the same period, diesel increased from \u20ac1.59 to \u20ac2.08. This corresponds to a 14% increase in petrol prices and a 30% increase in diesel prices.<\/p>\n<h2>Share of taxes in fuel prices<\/h2>\n<p>A significant share of fuel prices in Europe comes from taxes. Euronews Business\u2019s \u2018Who pays the most fuel tax in Europe?\u2019 article examines the tax share based on prices as of 16 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>At that date, taxes account for 44.6% of diesel prices and 52.1% of petrol prices. The highest tax share for petrol is in Slovenia (54.8%) whereas the lowest is in Bulgaria (43.9%). <\/p>\n<p>For diesel, the highest share is in Malta (54.3%) and the lowest in Estonia (37.6%).<\/p>\n<p>The total amount of tax paid in euros can differ from these shares, as pre-tax fuel prices vary widely across countries.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, according to Eurostat, 66.6% of new car registrations were petrol engine vehicles, 16.9% diesel engine vehicles, and 13.5% battery-only electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                          Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-partage-commentaire u-align-items-center u-display-flex\"><span class=\"c-article-partage-commentaire__links u-align-items-center u-display-flex u-justify-content-center js-c-article-partage-commentaire-share\"><span>Share<\/span><\/span><span>Comments<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"adb-article-you-might-also-like\" class=\"perf-cv-auto c-article-you-might-also-like\">\n<h2 class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__title\">\n        Read more<br \/>\n      <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__container\">\n<article id=\"abe-2879563-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1 m-modeXL-1\" data-nid=\"2879563\" data-cid=\"9690462\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2879563-label-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/69\/04\/62\/480x270_cmsv2_4006875f-b07c-54dc-8dcb-272e85f1b53d-9690462.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"File - Fuel prices are displayed at a gas station in Frankfurt, Germany. 19 March 2026. \" height=\"9\" width=\"16\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"the-media-object__content\">\n                    Economy<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"the-media-object__title  \">\n<p>    Fuel taxes across Europe: Where do consumers pay the most?<br \/>\n  <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"abe-2868387-pos1-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1 m-modeXL-1\" data-nid=\"2868387\" data-cid=\"9642090\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2868387-label-pos1-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/64\/20\/90\/480x270_cmsv2_e49f5c6a-25d9-5767-9ae2-2f805e6fcbd5-9642090.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Ein Thermostatventil an einer Heizung, fotografiert am 9.

Consumer fuel prices have also increased significantly due to the crisis in the Middle East.In the EU, petrol prices are about 15% higher and diesel prices around 30% higher in early April compared to late February 2026.So, what are the latest fuel prices in Europe? Where are petrol and diesel the cheapest and the most expensive?According to the European Commission\u2019s Weekly Oil Prices Bulletin released on 2 April 2026, the average price of Euro-super 95 petrol in the EU is \u20ac1.871 per litre while diesel (gas oil) is \u20ac2.076 per litre. These prices reflect the situation on 30 March.Most expensive diesel in the Netherlands, Denmark and GermanyWithin the EU, diesel prices per litre range from \u20ac1.21 in Malta to \u20ac2.46 in the Netherlands.In addition to the Netherlands, the highest diesel prices are found in Denmark (\u20ac2.36), Germany (\u20ac2.29), Finland (\u20ac2.27) and Belgium (\u20ac2.23).Diesel prices are also above the EU average in Austria (\u20ac2.20), France (\u20ac2.19), Ireland (\u20ac2.18), Sweden (\u20ac2.15), Lithuania (\u20ac2.12) and Greece (\u20ac2.12).Cheapest diesel in Malta, Hungary and SloveniaMalta is an outlier, with the lowest diesel prices at \u20ac1.21 per litre as the next cheapest countries are Hungary (\u20ac1.62), Slovenia (\u20ac1.62) and Bulgaria (\u20ac1.62).It is also below \u20ac2 per litre in Slovakia (\u20ac1.69), Spain (\u20ac1.78), Cyprus (\u20ac1.84), Croatia (\u20ac1.88) and Czechia (\u20ac1.97).Highest petrol prices mirror diesel price leadersPetrol (Euro-super 95) prices per litre range from \u20ac1.34 in Malta to \u20ac2.33 in the Netherlands. This shows that both petrol and diesel prices are highest and lowest in the same countries.The countries with the highest petrol prices are largely the same as for diesel. A litre of Euro-super 95 costs \u20ac2.23 in Denmark, \u20ac2.13 in Germany, and \u20ac2.05 in Finland.Petrol prices are also above \u20ac2 per litre in Greece (\u20ac2.05) and France (\u20ac2.01).While Malta (\u20ac1.34) has the lowest petrol price in the EU, it is not an outlier as in diesel, since Bulgaria follows closely at \u20ac1.44.Euro-super 95 prices are also below \u20ac1.60 per litre in Slovenia (\u20ac1.51), Hungary (\u20ac1.54), Spain (\u20ac1.56), Slovakia (\u20ac1.58) and Cyprus (\u20ac1.58).LPG motor fuel pricesOn average, the price of LPG motor fuel in the EU was \u20ac0.841 per litre. Italy (\u20ac0.66) has the lowest price, while Croatia (\u20ac1.26) has the highest.Comparing fuel prices before the US\u2013Israel strike, which started on 28 February 2026, with early April, petrol rose from \u20ac1.64 on 23 February to \u20ac1.87 on 30 March.Over the same period, diesel increased from \u20ac1.59 to \u20ac2.08. This corresponds to a 14% increase in petrol prices and a 30% increase in diesel prices.Share of taxes in fuel pricesA significant share of fuel prices in Europe comes from taxes. Euronews Business\u2019s \u2018Who pays the most fuel tax in Europe?\u2019 article examines the tax share based on prices as of 16 March 2026.At that date, taxes account for 44.6% of diesel prices and 52.1% of petrol prices. The highest tax share for petrol is in Slovenia (54.8%) whereas the lowest is in Bulgaria (43.9%).For diesel, the highest share is in Malta (54.3%) and the lowest in Estonia (37.6%).The total amount of tax paid in euros can differ from these shares, as pre-tax fuel prices vary widely across countries.In 2024, according to Eurostat, 66.6% of new car registrations were petrol engine vehicles, 16.9% diesel engine vehicles, and 13.5% battery-only electric vehicles.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/business\/2026\/04\/10\/petrol-and-diesel-in-europe-where-are-prices-highest-and-lowest&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/71\/31\/04\/1200x675_cmsv2_07cda6ce-d91c-5626-88f5-71c589d813c9-9713104.jpg&#8221;] Business TotalEnergies closes major Saudi refinery after attacks Climate Europe hit with second-warmest March on record after February floods Travel News Airbnb is now offering airport transfers in 125 cities Brussels, My Love?
