The minister decided. These are the maximum fuel prices on Wednesday at stations

On Wednesday, a liter of EU95 petrol will cost no more than PLN 6.55, EU98 petrol - PLN 7.24, and diesel - PLN 8.28 - according to the announcement of the Minister of Energy published on Tuesday. This means that petrol will be cheaper than on Tuesday, but diesel will become more expensive.

Today, a liter of 95 petrol costs no more than PLN 6.58, 98 petrol - PLN 7.27, and diesel - PLN 8.18.

The penalty for failing to apply the maximum fuel prices may amount to up to PLN 1 million.

The third edition of CPN

The announcement on maximum fuel prices is one of the elements of the next, third edition of the Lower Fuel Prices (CPN) package. The mechanism was launched after part of the provisions of the Act on tax on extraordinary profits of fuel companies came into force. The President signed the act and at the same time referred it to the Constitutional Tribunal under the post-control procedure.

According to the government's assumptions, the entire fuel price support package will be in force until the end of this year.

The first version of the CPN package was introduced at the end of March and was a reaction to the rising prices of crude oil due to the war between the US and Israel with Iran. It was valid until the end of June, with the excise tax reduction valid until mid-June. During the summer holidays, from August 17 to 31, the second version of the CPN program was introduced - without an excise tax reduction.
