Most affordable month for refueling this year

Currently, the prices for refueling are 1.475 euros per liter for diesel and 1.489 euros for super gasoline, which corresponds to a decrease of 3.8 cents (diesel) and 2.1 cents (super gasoline) compared to the previous month, as announced by the ÖAMTC in a statement on Wednesday. According to the mobility club, fuel prices are still too high given the "still favorable crude oil prices."

ÖAMTC sees further room for lower refueling prices

Currently, one has to pay about the same at the pumps as in September of the previous year, although the average crude oil price per barrel was ten euros higher at that time, argues the ÖAMTC. "Despite the CO2 price increase at the beginning of the year, there should still be room for price reductions." Other countries show that price reductions are possible: According to EU Commission figures, the average liter prices in Italy fell by 4.4 cents (super) and 4.7 cents (diesel) from April to May. In Slovenia, decreases of 6 and 7.5 cents were observed, and in Croatia, 6.9 and 7.4 cents.

Travel tips from ÖAMTC for vacationers

For those traveling to neighboring countries over Ascension Day or the upcoming weekend, the ÖAMTC provides the following advice: Travelers to Italy should refuel at a domestic gas station - or, if the route passes through Slovenia, there. In Italy, one currently has to expect an additional 20 cents per liter for super and 10 cents for diesel compared to Austria. In Slovenia, there are maximum limits and prices are currently lower than in Austria and Italy. If the destination is Croatia, the ÖAMTC advises refueling there, as there are also maximum limits. Currently, super costs 1.41 euros in Croatia, diesel 1.28 euros per liter.
