Drivers should prepare for higher fuel prices. According to the latest analysis of the e-petrol.pl website, after the May promotions at gas stations, from Monday we will pay more for refueling. The average price of “95” petrol is to range from PLN 6 and 62 gr to PLN 6 and 72 gr per liter, while diesel may cost from PLN 6 and 63 gr to PLN 6 and 73 gr per liter.

According to specialists from e-petrol.pl, although fuel prices are falling in wholesale sales, these declines will not be reflected on gas station pylons. During the week, the price of unleaded 95 gasoline increased by only 1 grosz, while the average price of diesel oil has remained stable for several weeks and amounts to PLN 6 and PLN 69/l. The price of autogas has also not changed and is on average PLN 2.84 per liter.

If gas station owners decide to increase the margin, drivers must expect new price lists after the May weekend. Analysts predict that petrol and diesel prices may be at the same level. In the case of autogas, changes are to be minimal and prices should fluctuate between PLN 2 and 82 groszy – PLN 2 and 89 groszy per liter.

In the first four months of 2024, the reference retail margin on a liter of 95 petrol was on average 18 groszy, and on diesel oil 15 groszy. In March, the retail margin on gasoline was PLN 13 per liter, and in April it dropped to PLN 9. In the case of diesel, the margin remained constant at 18 groszy. Since the beginning of the year, the margin on autogas has averaged PLN 21 per liter.

Prices will be influenced by decisions in Washington

Analysts point to greater price dynamics on international markets. Particularly important are the recent changes in crude oil prices, which decreased by nearly USD 3. This was influenced by the decisions of the American Federal Reserve (FED) and increase in crude oil reserves by 7 million 300 thousand barrels. Additionally, information about the possibility of extending voluntary cuts in oil production by OPEC may affect global supply, PAP reports.

In the near future, investors will pay attention to the situation in the Middle East and possible progress in ceasefire talks. Regional tensions may affect raw material prices on global markets.
