Spain: Diesel discount rises to 20 cents per liter starting Tuesday

In Spain, the diesel discount will rise to 20 cents per liter starting Tuesday, after this fuel registered a price increase of 15.7% in July, which automatically triggered a safeguard clause provided for in the decree-law that reformed the fiscal aid for fuels. This clause establishes that, if diesel inflation exceeds 15%, an expanded discount of 20 cents per liter is activated. On the other hand, the gasoline discount will be reduced from 10 to 5 cents per liter, since this fuel only became 7.3% more expensive in July, well below the 15% threshold that would trigger additional measures.

Fuel prices – Week of August 31 to September 6, 2026

During the week of August 31 to September 6, 2026, an increase of approximately 1.5 cents per liter in gasoline prices and a decrease of approximately 7.5 cents per liter in diesel prices are expected in Portugal. The average price of diesel, which was at 2.071 euros per liter on the previous Friday, is expected to drop to 1.996 euros, while gasoline will rise from 1.989 to 2.004 euros per liter. Variations may differ between fuel stations due to sector liberalization. The changes are attributed to the conflict in the Middle East, involving the USA, Israel and Iran, which led to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, through which approximately 20% of world oil and natural gas trade passes, causing fluctuations in fuel prices in Europe.
