Diesel price drops and gasoline rises next week

Diário de Coimbra28 August 2026 at 21:30

Fuel prices in Portugal will change next week. Diesel will register a price decrease, while gasoline will see an increase. This divergence in the direction of change between the two fuels is one of the main pieces of information advanced by the news.

The update to the excise tax (ISP) discount may still change the initially predicted values for these changes. This tax update can directly influence the final price paid by consumers at gas stations.

The information appears as a regular update on the evolution of fuel prices in the Portuguese market, a topic that directly affects consumers and the transportation sector in the country.

⛽ Government reduces discount on ISP on diesel and gasoline

The Portuguese Government reduced the extraordinary discount on the Excise Duty on Petroleum Products (ISP) applied to road fuels, which will result in less pronounced price drops next week. The discount on diesel decreases from 81.61 to 71.63 euros per 1,000 liters, while on gasoline it drops from 53.98 to 51.62 euros per 1,000 liters. This decision comes at a time when the Executive anticipates price drops for both fuels, adjusting weekly the support mechanism for consumers implemented due to the war in the Middle East, which keeps fuels above the ten-cent threshold defined in relation to March prices. The Brent barrel closed this Friday down 0.43%, at $89.31.
