Diesel liter should rise 4 cents and gasoline drop 6 next week

Now11 September 2026 at 12:44

Fuel prices in Portugal are expected to change next week, with diesel increasing and gasoline decreasing. The liter of simple diesel should rise 4 cents, reaching an average price of 2.152 euros per liter. This increase contrasts with the gasoline trend, which will register a drop of 6 cents.

The average price of the liter of simple 95 gasoline should drop to 2.040 euros. This reduction represents relief for gasoline consumers, at a time when fuel costs continue to worry Portuguese families.

Changes in fuel prices are set weekly, reflecting fluctuations in the international oil market. These adjustments are part of the pricing policy practiced in Portugal, which closely follows variations in the global crude market.

Consumers should take these changes into account next week, planning their refueling in order to benefit from the most favorable prices available.

Fuel retailers accuse Government of "lying" to the Portuguese and demand more enforcement

The president of ANAREC, João Durão, accused the Portuguese Government of "lying to the Portuguese" and profiting from fuels, demanding greater enforcement to stop cross-border smuggling between Portugal and Spain. In Lanhelas, Caminha, Durão warned that national companies are losing competitiveness due to the high tax burden, noting that in one euro of diesel 60 cents are taxes, a situation that does not occur in Spain. He argued that Portugal should apply taxation close to that of Spain and considered that the ISP compensation mechanism through VAT is not transparent.
