Changes we make: we convert prices from euros per 1,000 litres to euros per litre (rounded to three decimals), keep only Euro-super 95 petrol, automotive diesel and LPG for the 27 EU countries and the EU average, calculate week-on-week and longer changes, the tax share (from prices with and without taxes), full-tank costs and trip costs. We don’t fill gaps: weeks a country did not report are left empty.

Current data: week of 2026-10-12, 1088 weeks of history, downloaded 2026-10-17. The data is refreshed automatically each week after the bulletin is published.

What is not included

• Tolls and vignettes are not included in any calculation. Prices depend on vehicle class, route and season, and we have not found an openly licensed, Europe-wide source.
• Countries outside the EU (such as Switzerland, Norway or the United Kingdom) are not covered by the bulletin.
• Individual station prices are not shown; only national weekly averages.
