Fuel prices to rise significantly at midnight

Slovenia is set to experience a notable increase in fuel prices at midnight, effectively erasing recent temporary price drops. This price hike will impact both gasoline and diesel, making refueling more expensive for consumers.

A 50-liter tank of 95-octane gasoline will see a price increase of 3.15 euros, while a similar-sized tank of diesel will rise by 5.2 euros. The cost of heating oil will also climb by 11.4 cents per liter.

Specifically, 95-octane gasoline will become 6.3 cents more expensive per liter, reaching 1.582 euros. Diesel prices will rise by 10.4 cents, to 1.857 euros per liter. Heating oil will be priced at 1.47 euros per liter.

The government has stated that it currently lacks significant options to adjust duties, meaning excise taxes on fuel will remain unchanged. This limits the state's ability to mitigate the impact of the rising fuel costs on the public.
