Pump price: average consumer price including all taxes, as reported by each member state to the European Commission for the Monday of that week. Excl. VAT: pump price divided by the standard VAT rate on road diesel (excise duties stay included). A dash means we have not verified the VAT rate. Change: against the previous week.

EU average over the last year

EU-27 weighted average pump price, euro per litre, weekly.

What this means for road transport

Compare excl. VAT. A VAT-registered haulier gets the VAT back, so the real cost of a litre is the excl.-VAT price — the gap between countries is smaller than at the pump.
Refuel where the corridor is cheapest. On a long lane, filling up in the cheaper country before a border can save several euros per 100 km.
Pass changes on. A fuel surcharge clause tied to a published index keeps rates in line with diesel; see our fuel surcharge guide.
Price the whole route. Diesel is one line of the cost: the truck toll calculator adds fuel, tolls per country, time and CO₂. Tolls by country: truck tolls in Europe.
