Fuel Prices Continued to Rise in July

According to ÖAMTC, the average price for diesel in July was 1.548 euros per liter – about four cents more than the previous month. Super gasoline averaged 1.523 euros, which corresponds to an increase of about 1.5 cents. Thus, diesel remains the more expensive product at the pumps.

The mobility club criticizes the price development. This is incomprehensible given largely stable crude oil prices, neither in dollars nor in euros. The holiday season also does not justify the increase: there are no supply shortages.

Austria in the Middle Range of EU Fuel Prices

In a European comparison, Austria is in the middle range with the current prices. While diesel became more expensive in almost all EU countries, there were regionally different developments for super – in some cases even price decreases.

In Croatia, for example, the state price cap was temporarily lifted. Nevertheless, a massive price explosion did not occur. In many regions, fuel prices remain lower than in Austria – however, according to ÖAMTC, there are exceptions in heavily frequented tourist areas.

Cheaper Fuel in Slovenia – Italy Remains Expensive

Those traveling to Croatia or Italy can currently refuel more cheaply in Slovenia. There, diesel costs an average of 1.492 euros, super 1.438 euros per liter. The Slovenian price regulation still applies – even at highway gas stations.

In Italy, the price situation remains tense as usual: diesel costs about 10 cents more on average, super about 20 cents more than in Austria. Therefore, ÖAMTC advises refueling as much as possible before the border.
