fuel prices rise slightly, remain stable

In October 2024, fuel prices in Austria rose only slightly: the diesel price reached an average of 1.513 euros per liter, while gasoline was 1.501 euros. This corresponds to an increase of about two cents for diesel and 1.5 cents for gasoline compared to the previous month.
