- The current estimate is a fall of about €0.03 per litre for diesel and petrol.
- Retailers set their own prices, so not every station will move by the same amount.
- DGEG's live price portal is the better source for a specific journey.
An estimate before the pumps change
Current reporting based on sector estimates points to a reduction of around three cents per litre from Monday. The calculation uses market movements before retailers publish their final prices.
The estimate can change with the final market close and commercial decisions. It should not be presented as a guaranteed saving at every filling station.
