On Tuesday, motorists will lose 2,500 euros per liter for Euro95 and 2,189 euros for a liter of diesel. Market expert Paul van Selms of UnitedConsumers has not yet received all the data for Wednesday’s prices. For the time being, his organization is counting on 2,504 euros for a liter of petrol and 2,221 euros for diesel.
Fuel prices peaked for this on March 10. At that time, a liter of petrol cost 2.502 euros and a liter of diesel 2.375 euros. On the first day of April, the petrol price then fell again by more than 20 cents. From 1 April, the cabinet has reduced excise duties on petrol and diesel for the rest of this year.
got hit hard
The government wanted to make some concessions with the excise tax reduction, as energy and fuel prices have risen sharply due to the war in Ukraine, among other things. But the oil and gas market has remained very volatile lately, partly due to uncertainty about supplies from Russia and shortages of refining capacity.
Pump owners can deviate from the recommended prices of the major oil companies. In practice, motorists only pay the suggested retail prices along the highway.
