  • Slovenia’s maximum retail prices from tomorrow through Monday will be 1.674 euros per liter for gasoline, 1.939 euros for diesel and 1.544 euros for heating oil.
  • Diesel will rise by 12.8 cents per liter, adding more than six euros to the cost of filling a 50-liter tank.
  • The government said taxes and duties cannot be reduced further because they are already at European minimum levels.

Diesel in Slovenia is moving closer to two euros per liter as fuel and heating-oil prices rise sharply at midnight.

The maximum retail price for diesel will increase by 12.8 cents to 1.939 euros per liter. Filling a 50-liter tank will therefore cost more than six euros extra. Gasoline will rise by 5.1 cents to 1.674 euros per liter, adding 2.55 euros to the cost of a fill-up.

Heating oil will increase by 13.2 cents to 1.544 euros per liter, just before the start of the heating season. The report said diesel prices in Slovenia have risen by a third since the February attack on Iran, despite reductions in duties.

The government has asked Brussels to allow excise duties on motor fuels and heating oil to fall below the minimum levels currently permitted. Heating oil is also used to power work machinery.
