The most expensive fuel in Europe is now refueled in Finland

Europe’s most valuable fuel is currently being sold in Finland. The domestic motorists use diesel more than in any other European country, the EU Weekly oil bulletin says.

Regarding gasoline, Finland ranks right at the top, i.e. third.

Dear, dear diesel

Finnish motorists have had to pay up to 2.48 euros per liter for diesel. Diesel is also the most expensive in Denmark, which reached second place.

Behind the juitrauma, the pump price of diesel has skyrocketed to 2.43 euros. The third highest prices are sighing in the Netherlands.

There, according to the EU oil Bulletin, the motorist’s wallet is vaccinated with an average price of 2.36 euros per liter. However, according to some information, diesel has been on the better side of 2.40 euros.

In terms of gasoline prices, the same countries are at the top, albeit in a slightly different order.

Danish fuelers are hit hardest by the prices. Juts pay an average of 2.39 euros for a liter of gasoline.

In the Netherlands, the average pump price of gas stations hovers around 2.19 euros. In Finland, the price of a liter of gasoline has fluctuated between 2.21 and 2.32 euros on average at its peak.

Among other European countries, Germany, France and Italy are among the big automatics that reach the top of the EU Weekly oil Bulletin.

Crises behind price spikes

The recent price development of Finnish fuel has been most dramatically affected by geopolitical crises. More broadly, they have driven the world market prices of oil sky high.

Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, which began in February 2022, caused a completely extraordinary price spike in Finland, at the peak of which both gasoline and diesel hovered around 2.5 euros. An almost similar price spike was caused by the war against Iran started by the United States and Israel in February 2026.

The blockage of the oil artery in the Strait of Hormuz sent the world market prices of oil into a wild gallop, and the consequences are naturally reflected in Finland as well. The special thing is that diesel, which is generally considered a cheaper fuel, is now even clearly more expensive than gasoline.

This is influenced by several factors. In this produces a large part of Finland’s winter diesel at the Kilpilahti refinery in Porvoo.

However, winter diesel components are shipped from many directions, for example from the North Sea region and the United States. Because of this, diesel production costs increase considerably.

The restrictions placed on fuel coming from Russia and Ukraine’s attacks on oil refineries affect the availability and prices of diesel on a global level. That is also reflected in Finland.

The deepest sighs are now being released from the Finnish diesel driver’s chest. And this is even before starting to discuss the diesel driver’s eternal map reader, the traction tax.
