Licence. The charts, tables and data files listed on fuel-prices.eu/license/ are published under CC BY 4.0: you may reuse them, also commercially, if you credit fuel-prices.eu with a link. They are built only from the EU Weekly Oil Bulletin and from national feeds that publish an open licence. Live figures from sources without a published licence are shown on this page but are not covered and are not in the downloads — see fuel-prices.eu/sources/.

Quoting our figures in your reporting with the credit line needs no permission from us. If you want to republish whole tables or the CSV, check the source licences below: the live prices of Portugal, Andorra, Türkiye, Lithuania, Moldova, Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina have been withdrawn from the site because their sources do not allow republication, and several live feeds publish no licence.

Live or weekly? Check before you write “live”

The bulletin is the national average each government reports for the bulletin date; live is the current price in the market’s official feed: the simple average across stations where the feed lists every station, otherwise the regulated or national price, or the regional averages, that the source publishes. They are not comparable one-to-one, even for the same country.

47 articles in 29 newsrooms have used fuel-prices.eu figures since March 2026. Titles are given in English; each article is in its original language.
