Currently, the price of the popular “95” after deducting taxes and duties is PLN 3.24 per liter (or EUR 0.70 per liter). That’s as much as 22 percent. less than the average net price in Europe, which is PLN 4.16/l (0.9 euro/l). We pay the most for a liter of “95” gasoline in the Netherlands (EUR 2.13, PLN 9.86), but this is determined by national taxes. However, after deducting them, the most expensive country turns out to be Denmark, where the net price is 14% lower. higher than the average in the European Union and amounts to EUR 1.03 per liter (PLN 4.77/l).
Fuel prices in Poland are the lowest in the European Union. Expert: They should be much higher
Grzegorz Dróżdż, an analyst at Conotoxia Ltd, points out that due to high oil prices (on Thursday, one barrel of Brent oil costs over USD 93, i.e. about 20% more than at the beginning of July), prices are also rising at gas stations, but not everywhere. The cheapest fuels in the entire European Union can be purchased in Poland.
It seems that the current ‘market’ price of fuel in Poland should be between EUR 1.62 and EUR 1.72 per liter (i.e. PLN 7.50 and PLN 8 per liter). However, it is difficult to predict when stocks of this raw material will reach their critical levels and, consequently, when prices may stabilize. Hungary was able to freeze fuel prices for a little less than 12 months. It seems that Poland can survive a similar period
– comments the Conotoxia analyst in a statement received by Gazeta.pl.
Grzegorz Dróżdż reminds about the upcoming parliamentary elections on October 15. “There is a high probability that the situation on this market may change after the elections. However, we should not expect a sudden and sharp increase in fuel prices, such as we experienced in Hungary after the abolition of maximum prices,” the expert emphasizes.
Low fuel prices. Will the stations run out of petrol? Orlen comments
in his latest announcement, he assured that Poland is not at risk of fuel shortages or sudden price increases at gas stations. – We emphasize once again that fuel deliveries to Orlen stations and to our wholesale customers with whom we have concluded contracts are uninterrupted – said Adam Kasprzyk, Orlen’s director of corporate communications. – Excluding unforeseen fluctuations or events on the market that are beyond the company’s influence, the scenario of fuel shortages or sudden price increases does not threaten Poland – he added.
