The price of diesel from 22 September is 1.91 euros per litre, while super unleaded is at 1.74 euros. The government has reduced excise duties to below the minimum set by the European directive, but forecasts for the following week point to diesel at 1.96 euros per litre, which would be a record.
With a consumption of 5.5 to 6.5 litres, driving 100 kilometres costs between 10.50 and 12.40 euros today. Sixteen months ago, the same distance could be driven for eight to nine euros, showing how much driving costs have increased in the meantime.

On motorways, the price is now 0.43 euros per kWh for chargers up to 22.1 kW, 0.57 euros for those up to 50 kW and 0.78 euros for all above that. Outside motorways, prices are 0.35 and 0.45 euros per kWh, a tariff that remains valid in September 2026.

Petrol charges 0.15 euros per minute on DC chargers, and 0.04 euros per minute on AC chargers, but only from 7 to 20 hours. ELEN reserves 53 euros on the card for DC and 33 euros for AC charging, with the bank releasing the funds within a few hours or days.
