The legal maximum price, set every working day, applies at every station, motorways included. Source: FPS Economy (SPF Economie / FOD Economie) maximum-price system.

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.
