How to read the chart: the shaded band holds the middle 80% of all weeks since 2005 (10th to 90th percentile) and the line inside it is the median, both for the prices selected. The percentile counts the earlier weeks that were strictly cheaper, truncated (not rounded) to one decimal; “record” means that no earlier week was as dear or dearer. Adjusted for inflation: each week × HICP for September 2026 ÷ HICP for the month of that week, so every price is in September 2026 money; weeks after September 2026 are not adjusted yet. Index: Eurostat, harmonised index of consumer prices, all items (prc_hicp_minr, 2025 = 100), reused with acknowledgement of the source.

In the week of 26 October 2026, the Netherlands ranked 25 out of 27 for petrol (Euro-super 95) and 25 out of 27 for diesel (1 = cheapest). Petrol was 18.3% above the EU weighted average (€1.954/L), and diesel 15.0% above the EU weighted average of €2.146/L.
The national average for petrol (Euro-super 95) in the week of 26 October 2026 is higher than in 97.4% of all weeks since 2005 (nominal, not adjusted for inflation).

Among the neighbouring countries, petrol (Euro-super 95) is cheapest in Belgium according to the bulletin (€1.953/L); a 50-litre fill-up there costs about €17.98 less than in the Netherlands. For diesel, Germany is cheapest (€2.298/L, about €8.55 less for 50 L). These are national averages: prices at the border can differ, and the journey there also uses fuel.
Using the bulletin of 26 October 2026: 50 litres of petrol (Euro-super 95) cost about €115.63, 50 litres of diesel about €123.45 and 40 litres of LPG (autogas) about €39.88. For LPG we assume 40 litres, because a 50-litre LPG tank is only filled to about 80%.
In the week of 26 October 2026, diesel cost €0.157 per litre more than petrol (Euro-super 95). The excise duty on diesel is 29.24 cents per litre lower than on petrol.

The chart “Diesel minus petrol (Euro-super 95)” shows the trend.
In the bulletin of 26 October 2026, taxes made up 54.2% of the price of petrol (Euro-super 95) and 40.0% of the price of diesel: excise duty of €0.845 (petrol) and €0.552 (diesel) per litre and VAT at 21%, plus other indirect taxes of €0.008 (petrol) and €0.008 (diesel) per litre (European Commission, EU Weekly Oil Bulletin; excise duty: Belastingdienst/Douane).
