EU-Average Gasoline Price Trends
The European gasoline market has experienced significant volatility over the past year, with prices rising by 12.07% year-on-year. This increase is largely attributed to the geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East, specifically the Iran war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which has severely disrupted oil supplies. The recent surge in Brent crude prices, now over $120 per barrel, has further compounded the situation, driving up costs across the continent.
- Range: Prices fluctuated from €1.590 per liter in December 2025 to a peak of €1.893 in March 2026.
- Momentum: A notable 14.47% increase over the last 12 weeks highlights the rapid escalation in prices.
- Volatility: Weekly fluctuations, with a recent 1.38% decrease, indicate ongoing instability in the market.
These dynamics reflect the broader challenges facing the European energy sector, as geopolitical tensions and supply constraints continue to exert upward pressure on prices. Source: European Commission Oil Bulletin.
