From Tuesday, 27 October, to 2 November inclusive, a litre of 95-octane petrol at filling stations outside motorways and expressways will cost €1.627, and a litre of diesel €1.935. Petrol is 7.5 cents cheaper, diesel 1.2 cents dearer. Diesel is now 30.8 cents per litre more expensive than petrol.
For a typical purchase of 50 litres, that is a €15.40 difference at diesel's expense. A year ago, in the period from 21 October to 3 November 2025, a litre of petrol cost €1.438 and a litre of diesel €1.460. The difference was 2.2 cents, or just over a euro for 50 litres.
Over one year, petrol has become 18.9 cents per litre dearer (13 percent), and diesel 47.5 cents dearer (32.5 percent). The Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy recorded this year's highest diesel price between 22 and 28 September, when it stood at €2.012.
Prices set by the state apply outside motorways and expressways. Along motorways, retailers set them freely.
Without government measures, bills would be higher. A temporary exemption from the environmental levy for air pollution with carbon dioxide applies until 14 December inclusive. From 15 December, the full levy will be €0.07096 per litre of petrol and €0.0833 per litre of diesel. The ministry estimates that, without the temporary exemptions, the price of petrol would be around €1.826 and diesel around €2.150 per litre. As reported by STA, the Slovenian Press Agency, the government has not changed the excise duty, which is €0.41759 per litre of petrol and €0.33 per litre of diesel.
The state has asked the European Commission to allow it to cut excise duties below the EU minimum for six months. According to STA, the Commission is receptive to the request, but the Council of the EU must still approve it. The excise duty on diesel is already at the minimum permitted level and could be cut by at most €0.225 per litre, while the duty on petrol could be cut by at most €0.2195.
In Croatia, according to STA and Dnevnik, petrol will cost €1.69 per litre from Tuesday (four cents less), and diesel €1.88 (one cent more). The prices were set by the Croatian government at a correspondence session and will apply for seven days. Petrol there is therefore 6.3 cents dearer than in Slovenia, and diesel 5.5 cents cheaper.
A litre of heating oil will cost €1.558 from Tuesday, 1.2 cents more than until now.
