About Austria fuel prices
In Austria, petrol averages EUR 1.747 per litre and diesel EUR 2.148 per litre (EU Weekly Oil Bulletin, 2 Nov 2026). The figures are the national averages from the EU Weekly Oil Bulletin, the European Commission survey of consumer fuel prices. They include duties and taxes as the bulletin reports them, and they are averages across the whole country, not the cheapest price anywhere in it. Where a live station feed exists, the live pages carry the station level detail separately, and the two are never mixed.
Prices move with crude oil markets, exchange rates and national taxation. The history section shows how the current level compares with every stored month, and the calculators turn the average into the cost of a tank or a month of driving.
Frequently asked questions

When are fuel prices in Austria updated?

Why do prices in Austria differ from other countries?
Most of the gap between countries is taxation: excise duty and VAT differ by country, and the bulletin averages include those taxes. Crude prices and refining costs are broadly shared across Europe.
Does Euro Litre publish live station prices in Austria?
Not yet. There is no licensed live station feed published for Austria on this site today, so this page carries the official average prices only.
