After a week in ‘rollercoaster’ mode – with the price of 95 gasoline rising and diesel prices falling -, from next Monday you can expect a ‘rain’ of lower prices: this is because fuel prices will fall price, albeit slightly. “The evolution of quotations in euros points to a drop in prices of up to 0.5 cents per liter for 95 gasoline and a drop of 1.5 cents per liter for diesel,” a source from one of the main national oil companies told ‘Executive Digest ‘.

In the same vein, prices at gas stations next to hypermarkets will follow the market trend, with a “drop of 0.0032 euros for gasoline and 0.0128 euros for diesel”, said another source.

Data from the General Directorate of Energy and Geology (DGEG) show that the average price of a liter of straight diesel in Portugal currently costs 1.629 euros per liter, while that of straight 95 gasoline is worth 1.736 euros.

According to data from DGEG, this will be the fourth time in 2024 that diesel has dropped in price: even so, diesel has become 6.3 cents more expensive this year. Gasoline returns to declines for only the second time this year – remember that there were nine consecutive weeks of increases, having gone, in 2024, from 1.643 euros/liter to 1.734 euros/liter, plus 9.1 cents.

So, from next week, filling the car with 60 liters of diesel will be almost 2.88 euros more expensive compared to the beginning of the year: filling the tank with gasoline will cost another 5.16 euros over the same period.

The most recent fuel bulletin from the European Commission indicates that Portugal has the 8th most expensive 95 gasoline in Europe, around 2 cents below the European average and 12.5 cents more expensive than in Spain. Diesel occupies 15th place in the European ranking.

The price difference between Portugal and Spain results from the tax burden, since, without taxes, the price of gasoline is cheaper in Portugal. Without the tax burden, each liter of 95 gasoline in Portugal would cost 83.1 cents, that is, less than the 85.7 cents in Spain.

Among EU countries, Denmark has the most expensive 95 gasoline on the Old Continent: 2,020 euros. Finland ‘reigns’ in diesel: 1,843 euros.
