Next week, early September, fuel prices will undergo different changes depending on the type. The diesel should record a slight increase, while gasoline will go down. The reversal of the trend comes after a sequence of weeks in which both fuels had almost parallel fluctuations.
According to the site specializing in Finance and Economics, Executive Digest, the orientation is for a rise of up to 0.5 cents per liter in diesel, accompanied by a reduction of equal size in the price of gasoline 95.
In practice, this means that those who supply with diesel will feel almost imperceptible, while gasoline drivers will benefit from a small descent.
Differences between brand and hypermarket stations
At own brand supply stations, usually located with hypermarkets, the trend will be similar. In these places, fuel prices point to a rise of 0.0053 euros in diesel and a decrease of 0.0021 euros in gasoline 95.
According to the same source, these oscillations reflect market movements recorded in recent days and follow the prices practiced at traditional posts.
Balance since the beginning of the year
Looking at price evolution throughout 2025, diesel has a positive balance for consumers. The average value per liter descended from 1.609 euros to 1,545 euros. Translating into numbers, those who fill a 60 -liter deposit pays less 3.84 euros than at the beginning of the year.
Already the gasoline 95 fell from 1,722 to 1,698 euros per liter, which represents a more modest savings: 1.44 euros in the same deposit.
Portugal among the most expensive in Europe
The latest European Commission numbers put Portugal in poorly favorable positions in the fuel table.
In the case of Simple Gasoline 95, the country comes in eighth place among the most expensive, 8.2 cents above the European average and 21.9 cents above the prices in Spain.
In simple diesel, the difference is also felt. Portugal occupies the ninth position, with a price 13.7 cents higher than the one registered in the neighboring country.
In global analysis, Denmark leads the ranking with the most expensive fuels of the old continent: 1,927 euros per liter in gasoline 95 and 1.803 euros in diesel.
According to the international pressure on raw materials, coupled with the tax burden in each Member State, explains part of these differences that have been consistent for several months.
