Fuel prices rise again this week

Now7 September 2026 at 11:38

Fuel prices will rise again this week in Portugal. Diesel reaches a new all-time high, surpassing previous values that were already high.

Petrol records the biggest weekly increase in four years, representing a significant burden for consumers. This increase follows an upward trend that has been observed in recent weeks.

Drivers thus face another increase in fuel costs, in a period already marked by high inflation in other essential goods.

Why does a donut or a coffee seem to have increased more than the CPI?

The article explains why everyday products such as donuts and coffees appear to have increased in price more than the Consumer Price Index (CPI) indicates, analysing that the discrepancy is due to the nature of the index itself, which calculates a weighted average of a broad basket of goods and services, not necessarily reflecting each consumer's individual experience. Since 2020, food has risen 38.5% and dining out 28.4%, while communications have fallen 2.3%, and purchase frequency, geographic differences, income differences and the way housing is treated in the CPI (purchases excluded, rents included) contribute to this differentiated perception of inflation. The CPI serves to measure the overall evolution of prices, but does not capture the specific impact on each family's life.

End of fuel support puts public transport service at risk, says ANTROP

The National Association of Passenger Transport (ANTROP) warned that the end of extraordinary fuel support puts the continuity of road public transport at risk, estimating an impact of 15 million euros in the sector between July and September. The association argues that the monthly subsidy of 420 euros per eligible heavy vehicle, granted by the Government for three months, should be extended while exceptional conditions persist in the fuel market. According to ANTROP, the increase of about 0.289 euros per liter in diesel compared to the pre-crisis level translates into significant financial burden. The association recalls that the 74 member companies are bound by public service contracts that prevent immediate reflection of increases in fares, warning that the lack of compensation may compromise the economic viability of companies and compliance with contracted services.
