Fuel Prices to Rise Before May Long Weekend in Poland

TLDR

  • Fuel prices in Poland are set to increase before the May long weekend, with gasoline and diesel expected to become more expensive.
  • The price of LPG may remain relatively stable or even see a slight decrease.
  • Despite the upcoming rise, Polish fuel prices remain competitive compared to other European countries.

As the May long weekend approaches, Polish drivers face the unwelcome prospect of higher fuel costs. Analysis from e-petrol.pl indicates a price hike for gasoline and diesel, signaling the end of recent price reductions. While autogas might offer some stability, the overall trend points towards more expensive refueling. Rzeczpospolita, reporting on economic matters crucial to Polish consumers, highlights this development. The article notes that the recent surge in wholesale fuel prices, driven by an unstable market, is directly translating to higher pump prices, a process that now occurs rapidly. However, even with this increase, Poland continues to offer some of the lowest fuel prices in Europe, excluding Turkey. This comparative advantage is crucial for Poles planning cross-border trips during the holiday, as refueling abroad, particularly in popular destinations like the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Hungary, and Germany, will be significantly more expensive.
