What the new gasoline price means for drivers
The €2.180 average places gasoline below the €2.20 threshold for the first time in recent months. For drivers who rely on self‑service pumps to avoid higher service‑station margins, the dip translates into tangible savings on each fill‑up, particularly on long journeys where fuel consumption adds up quickly.
Diesel’s steady decline
Diesel, long a favorite for trucks and larger vehicles, now averages €2.383 per litre on the motorways. While still higher than gasoline, the price drop eases operating costs for freight operators and commuters who choose diesel for its efficiency.
