Norway’s figures are a full 50 litre tank at its September 2026 monthly average, in krone with the euro equivalent at the ECB rate. Sweden and Finland are 50 litre tanks at their bulletin prices. The comparison is cross-border context only: Norway is not part of the EU bulletin ranking.
About these figures
The prices on this page are monthly national averages published by Statistics Norway (SSB), table 09654. They are not live station prices: Norway has no official live station feed that we can republish, so this page carries no station lists and no cheapest-forecourt figures.
A monthly average smooths over a lot. What you actually pay varies by station, by region and by the day, and Norwegian pump prices move within the week as well as between months. Read the average as the trend line, not as the price on any one forecourt sign in September 2026.
Norway is a major oil and gas producer, yet its pump prices are among the highest in Europe. The drivers most often cited are high fuel taxation and climate policy: the tax part of the price is a political choice, set by the Storting, so producing oil at home does not translate into cheap fuel at the pump.
Questions about fuel prices in Norway
What is the average price of petrol and diesel in Norway?
In September 2026, a litre of petrol (leadfree 95) cost NOK 26.18 on average in Norway, and a litre of diesel NOK 27.52. In euro that is about €2.518 and €2.647 per litre at the ECB rate. These are Statistics Norway’s monthly national averages, not live station prices.
Why is fuel so expensive in Norway when Norway produces oil?
Norway is one of the world’s largest oil and gas producers, yet its pump prices are among the highest in Europe. The explanation most often given is taxation: Norway taxes road fuel heavily, as a matter of climate and transport policy, and the tax part of the price is set by parliament rather than by the oil market. Producing crude oil does not make refined fuel cheap at home when the state prices carbon and road use into every litre.
How often are Norway’s fuel prices updated?
Once a month. Statistics Norway publishes the national average price for each month in table 09654, and this page is updated as each new month appears. The latest month shown is September 2026.
Where do Norway’s fuel prices come from?
From Statistics Norway (SSB), the national statistics office, table 09654, Prices on engine fuel, reused under CC BY 4.0. The euro figures are converted at the European Central Bank’s reference rate for the krone.
Why is Norway not in the EU ranking on this site?
Norway is not a member of the European Union, so it does not appear in the EU Weekly Oil Bulletin, or in the rankings and cheapest-in-Europe tables built from that bulletin. Its figures come from its own national statistics office instead, and because they are monthly averages they are shown separately rather than mixed into weekly bulletin data.
Sources and method
- Everything on price, history, records and change on this page comes from one place: Statistics Norway (SSB), table 09654, Prices on engine fuel, monthly averages in NOK per litre, reused under CC BY 4.0. The latest month held is September 2026.
- Euro figures are converted at ECB euro reference rates (European Central Bank); the rate in force is the one shown in the header selector.
- The Sweden and Finland figures in the tank comparison come from the EU Weekly Oil Bulletin of 2 Nov 2026 (European Commission, CC BY 4.0). Norway does not appear in that bulletin.
- How to read this page: the averages are monthly national averages, not prices at any individual station. Records and changes are worked out from Norway’s own stored monthly series, which runs from August 1986 to September 2026. Nothing is estimated, and no other country’s data is mixed in.
