Austria's Prices for Gasoline & Diesel in the EU Midfield

Fuel prices in Austria have decreased for the third consecutive year on average. Compared to the EU, Austria is in the mid-range with 1.54 euros per liter of diesel and 1.52 euros per liter of Eurosuper. This is according to this year's fuel price report from the Austrian Transport Club (VCÖ). The highest fuel prices were recorded in Denmark, while drivers in Bulgaria and Malta paid significantly less.

For Eurosuper, drivers in this country had to pay 1.52 euros, which is 5 cents less per liter than the previous year. The diesel price dropped by 6 cents compared to the previous year to 1.54 euros. However, drivers in Denmark had to dig much deeper into their pockets: There, a liter of Eurosuper cost 1.96 euros per liter. But also in the Netherlands (1.92 euros), Greece (1.76 euros), as well as in Germany and Ireland (each 1.73 euros), the tank filling cost significantly more than in Austria. The situation is not much different for diesel: In Denmark, it cost 1.76 euros per liter, in Ireland 1.71 euros. But also in the Netherlands (1.69 euros), Belgium (1.66 euros), and Italy (1.65 euros), the fuel cost significantly more.

Fuel Prices: Where You Pay Relatively Little in the EU

Drivers in Bulgaria, Malta, and Cyprus got off cheaper. In Bulgaria, a liter of Eurosuper cost 1.24 euros. In the island states of Malta and Cyprus, not much more was charged for this fuel. It is similar for diesel: Here, Malta took the top spot with a liter price of 1.21 euros, followed by Bulgaria with 1.24 euros.

However, there is also the possibility in Austria to reduce fuel costs, the VCÖ reported: Those who adjust their driving behavior, drive predictably and evenly, can reduce fuel consumption - and thus also fuel costs - by 15 to 20 percent.
