- Petrol 95 is forecast to rise by about 4.5–5 cents per litre.
- Road diesel is forecast to fall by about 0.5–1 cent per litre.
- DGEG publishes reported station prices and daily national averages after prices are communicated.
A direction, not a guaranteed pump price
Weekly estimates reflect expected changes in international products and market conditions. They cannot establish the price displayed by every filling station on Monday.
A five-cent change equals €2.50 on a 50-litre fill before any card or promotional discount. A long detour to save less than the travel cost is not a saving.
Compare the price you can actually buy
Use the DGEG fuel-price portal to compare nearby stations and check the fuel grade and update time. Compare like with like: simple petrol with simple petrol, and advertised discounts only when you qualify.
Businesses should keep the supplier invoice and use the applicable accounting and tax rules rather than a media forecast for records.
