Money-Saving Tip: In Italy the bigger saving is self-service, not leaving the motorway: on the autostrada assisted service costs about €0.26–0.30 more per litre than self-service (MIMIT medians, 11 Oct 2026).
“By country” adds the percentage of each country above to its weekly EU Oil Bulletin average (petrol and diesel separately); the EU averages are left unchanged. Percentages are differences between median prices, calculated on the dates shown; they are not a forecast for a particular station.
Euro 95 (RON 95) is the standard unleaded gasoline across Europe.
In US terms, this is approximately mid-grade / low-premium (90–91 AKI). Europe uses RON octane; US uses AKI, which is 4–6 points lower for the same fuel.

Panel checks every 5 min
Live petrol & diesel pump prices from official national sources in 11 European countries, collected as often as each national feed updates (from every 30 minutes to once a day) and compared against the EC bulletin of 05 Oct 2026. Sweden, our 21st live market in Europe, publishes chain list prices rather than pump prices, so it is not in this panel.
