Petrol to Rise Again as Diesel Prices Fall in Slovenia

Petrol prices in Slovenia will rise at midnight, while diesel and heating oil will become cheaper for the next pricing period. The Energy and Infrastructure Ministry set the maximum price for 95-octane unleaded petrol at €1.623 per liter through September 7.

The petrol price compares with €1.608 previously. Filling a 50-liter tank will therefore cost €81.15. Diesel will fall to €1.811 per liter from €1.903, making a 50-liter purchase €90.55.

Heating oil will cost €1.412 per liter, down from €1.517. A 1,000-liter order will cost €1,412, excluding delivery.

The ministry said consumers save €215 on a 1,000-liter heating-oil purchase because the price is regulated and the fuel is exempt from an air-pollution environmental charge and an energy-efficiency contribution. Without those measures, it said the price would be about €1.627 per liter, or €1,627 for the full order.

If heating-oil prices were not regulated and heating oil were not exempt from the environmental charge for air pollution caused by carbon dioxide emissions and the energy-efficiency contribution, consumers would have to pay around €1.627 per liter.
