Forget Luxembourg
Holidaymakers no longer have to travel through Luxembourg, because the new bargain champion in the field of gasoline is Belgium.
Fuel in Belgium is super cheap. The official maximum price for a liter of Super 95 (E10) is € 1.627. Diesel costs a maximum of € 1.717. Moreover, the maximum price only means that no gas station in Belgium may ask for more. As long as no loss is made, every pump holder may dive as far below that € 1.627 as he wants.
That is something that many gas station owners do. According to comparison site Carbu.com – which lists the prices of all gas stations almost daily – the allergy -buyest pumps in Flanders currently charge between € 1.407 and € 1.429 for a liter of super 95.
Tankwalhalla Luxembourg
That is even cheaper than in Luxembourg. There, the maximum price of Super 95 is currently € 1.453 per liter. But in contrast to their Belgian colleagues, most Luxembourg Pompeonsers also hold on to that.
Super 98 (E5) is also slightly more expensive in Luxembourg with € 1,571 per liter than in Belgium. Only with diesel – € 1,423 per liter – the Luxembourgers still give the Belgians the check. That still saves a euro or 4 to 5 on a full tank of 50 liters. But the tankwalhalla of yesteryear is no longer Luxembourg.
The cause is in a so-called CO2 levy that the Luxembourg government has imposed on gas stations to tackle greenhouse gas emissions. “As a result, the price difference with Belgium has become much smaller,” says Johan Mattart of the Belgian Federation of the Fertilizers Traders (Brafco) to the Belgian newspaper HLN .
More oil for our euro
Fuel prices are falling anyway. An explanation lies, among other things, with the weak dollar compared to the euro. Oil is traded in the weakened dollar.
“We are now getting more oil for our euro,” says Hans van Cleef, energy expert at the Public Affairs consultancy, who expects prices to go down a little further in the coming months. “Petrol will be made for a quarter of oil.”
Oil price drops due to input rates
The announcement of the input rates of US President Trump also ensures a falling oil price. “Less growth means that less oil is needed. And that only brings the oil price further down.”
In addition, the OPEC+ (the most important oil -producing countries) has announced that production is increased by 570,000 barrels per day from September. “While demand is not rising proportionally.”
Dutch petrol price
The fuel prices in the Netherlands also fall, but due to the excise duties the liter price is still a lot higher. The price for a liter of Euro 95 is now € 2.11. You paid € 2.19 for that mid -February. Mind you, these are the suggested retail prices that you usually only pay along the highway. Diesel is also steadily falling in price; The current suggested retail price is now € 1.87, which was € 1.98 in February.
Unfortunately, there is little reason to cheer: if the government does not intervene, a liter of gasoline becomes 25.8 cents more expensive on January 1. In the years that followed, another 18.6 cents will be added. This price increase is largely because the government has reduced the tax on fuel since 2022. On January 1, the scheme will stop, and that is why prices are rising considerably without intervention.
