What are fuel prices this weekend and next week? Check how much it costs to refuel

From today until Monday, the maximum price of a liter of EU95 petrol is PLN 6.51, EU98 petrol - PLN 7.21, and diesel oil - PLN 7.99 - according to the announcement of the Minister of Energy.

Compared to Friday, gasoline prices dropped and diesel prices remained unchanged.

New regulations and penalties for stations

The introduction of maximum fuel prices is part of the third installment of the government's "Fuel Prices Lower" (CPN) package, which aims to limit price increases at gas stations and reduce refueling costs for drivers. Failure to comply with the established maximum prices may result in a fine of up to PLN 1 million.

Where does the money for discounts come from?

The new regulations provide for a temporary reduction in excise duty and VAT on liquid fuels. Financing these activities comes from a new tax imposed on fuel companies achieving above-average profits.

"According to the government's assumptions, the value of the third fuel price support package, which will be in force until the end of 2026, may amount to approximately PLN 5 billion," according to government estimates.

The first version of the CPN package was introduced at the end of March in response to the increase in oil prices related to the conflict between the United States and Israel with Iran. Then, VAT and excise duty on gasoline and diesel oil were temporarily reduced and a maximum price mechanism was introduced. The second version of the program was in force in August, but without the excise tax reduction.

What next with fuel prices at stations?

Further decisions regarding maximum fuel prices will be announced on October 26, i.e. on Monday.

In turn, according to e-petrol analysts, drivers can expect relatively stable fuel prices from Tuesday to November 1, but not all types of fuel will cost less than this week

Analysts forecast that next week the prices of EU95 petrol will range from PLN 6.45 to PLN 6.57/l, EU98 petrol - from PLN 7.12 to PLN 7.25/l, diesel - PLN 7.90-8.02/l, and autogas - PLN 3.59-3.70/l.
