Price increase at the turn of the year: fuel in Austria more expensive!

In Austria, drivers face financial burden: from January 1, 2025, the prices for fuels increase significantly. A liter of diesel then becomes 16.5 cents more expensive, while Eurosuper rises by a total of 15 cents per liter. This measure is the result of a new CO2 tax, which was introduced by the previous government, emphasizes the President of the ARBÖ. Despite the announcement of a moderate increase, diesel and petrol is currently a little below the prices before the Ukraine War, which increases the burden. ARBÖ representatives strongly advise you to recharge your batteries before New Year's Eve to avoid long waiting times at the petrol stations, as many Austrians want to take the last chance of cheaper fuel, as reported.

prices in international comparison

Current statistics show that the average fuel prices in Austria are quite competitive compared to other EU countries. The gross price for Eurosuper 95 in Austria is 1.513 euros per liter, which is 13.6 cents below the EU average of EUR 1.649. The diesel fuel also costs an average of 1.541 euros per liter in Austria and is therefore 2.3 cents cheaper than the EU average of 1.564 euros. Without taxes, the net prices for Eurosuper are 0.668 euros and for diesel at 0.765 euros, both lower values than in the rest of the EU, as reported by the website [bmk.gv.at]
