On Monday, 2 November, a litre of diesel is expected to go up by about 3.5 cents and a litre of petrol to come down by 1.5 cents. This is a preliminary estimate by fuel retailers (Notícias ao Minuto); filling stations set the final prices themselves.
According to the Directorate-General for Energy and Geology (DGEG), on 30 October the national average price at filling stations, including discounts, was €2.190 a litre for standard diesel and €2.033 for 95 petrol. Without discounts, a litre costs more. Prices by district are on our Fuel prices page.
Galp expects fuel to stay expensive until the end of the year. According to its chief executive, João Diogo Marques da Silva, this is not only down to oil but also to the small number of oil refineries in Europe.
