gasolina simples 95 — ordinary 95-octane petrol
This is what ordinary petrol is called on the forecourt price board and in the state price comparison tool. “Simples” means without an additive package; 95 is the octane rating. Next to it at the pump are “gasolina especial” (also called aditivada: the same petrol with additives, and more expensive) and “gasolina 98”, with a higher octane rating. As of 4 September 2026, the national average price of a litre of gasolina simples 95 was €2.074.
Where you come across it. The price board at the entrance to the filling station, the buttons on the pump, choosing the fuel type in the DGEG price comparison tool.
Which petrol to use is decided not by the seller but by your car’s manual, which states the minimum octane rating. If 95 is required, the car will not go any faster on 98.
