Fuel Prices in Europe Maps
Static Map: Gasoline Prices in the EU
The European gasoline price map reveals a stark geographic divide, with Northern and Western European countries experiencing the highest prices, while Eastern and Southern nations enjoy relatively lower costs. The Netherlands, at €2.36 per liter, leads as the most expensive, reflecting both high taxes and the impact of geopolitical tensions. In contrast, Malta offers the cheapest fuel at €1.34 per liter. The ongoing Middle East conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have exacerbated price disparities by disrupting oil supplies, further inflating costs in regions heavily reliant on imports.
- Highest Prices: The Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany, where geopolitical disruptions and high taxes converge.
- Moderate Prices: France and Finland, where policy measures are attempting to cushion the impact.
- Lowest Prices: Malta and Poland, benefiting from tax cuts and strategic positioning.

EU-Average Gasoline Price Trends
Over the past 52 weeks, European gasoline prices have surged, driven by geopolitical instability and supply disruptions. The current average price of €1.880 per liter represents a 13.26% increase year-over-year, with a notable 16.48% rise over the past 12 weeks. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on energy infrastructure have strained global oil supplies, pushing Brent Crude prices above $120 per barrel. This, coupled with a weakened Euro, has exacerbated import costs, leading to higher retail prices across Europe.
- Range: Prices fluctuated from €1.590 to €1.893 per liter over the past year.
- Momentum: A 5.92% increase in the last four weeks highlights accelerating price pressures.
- Volatility: Weekly increases averaging 0.43% reflect ongoing market instability.
These trends underscore the volatile nature of the current energy market, influenced by both geopolitical events and internal EU policy decisions. Data sourced from the European Commission Oil Bulletin.
