  • Slovenian fuel prices rose again, with diesel increasing by 12.8 cents to 1.939 euros per liter through Monday.
  • Filling a 50-liter tank now costs about six euros more for diesel and 2.55 euros more for 95-octane gasoline.
  • The article links the increases to seasonal factors, disruptions in global diesel supplies and rising crude prices as the Gulf conflict reaches commercial shipping.

Diesel reached a new record price in Slovenia after fuel and heating-oil prices rose at midnight. Filling a 50-liter tank now costs more than six euros extra.

The sharpest increase affected diesel, which rose by 12.8 cents to 1.939 euros per liter. The price will apply through Monday. The article attributes part of the increase to seasonal factors and part to disruptions in global supplies of the fuel.

Ninety-five-octane gasoline rose by 5.1 cents to 1.674 euros per liter. A 50-liter fill-up therefore costs an additional 2.55 euros. Heating oil, also referred to as agricultural diesel, increased by 13.2 cents to 1.544 euros per liter.

The latest increases come as the war in the Gulf has expanded from attacks on military facilities to commercial vessels, pushing up the price of crude oil. Diesel prices have also reached record levels in the United States, adding to political tensions ahead of November’s midterm elections.
