From Tuesday, 13 October, new fuel prices come into force in Croatia and will be valid for the next seven days. According to a decision by the Government of the Republic of Croatia, the prices of petrol and blue diesel remain unchanged, diesel fuel becomes slightly cheaper, while liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) becomes more expensive.
The highest retail price for petrol remains at 1.74 euros per litre, the same as in the previous period. The price of blue diesel also remains unchanged and will be 1.38 euros per litre. Diesel fuel becomes cheaper by one cent, so the new price for diesel will be 1.83 euros per litre.
For drivers of diesel cars, this means that filling a 50-litre tank will cost 50 cents less than during the previous week. Drivers of petrol cars will not notice any changes, while users of liquefied petroleum gas will have to spend a little more money.
LPG for tanks becomes more expensive by 12 cents per kilogram, to 1.67 euros. The price of LPG for bottles will rise by the same amount and will be 2.25 euros per kilogram.
The Government has issued new regulations continuing to regulate fuel prices. Compared to the previous seven-day period, the level of premiums and excise duties remains the same. The highest retail prices continue to be calculated according to a formula based on the base price of fossil fuel in the previous seven-day period, plus prescribed premiums.
According to Government data, without regulatory measures and if prices were allowed to form freely, fuel and gas would be more expensive. Petrol would then cost 1.95 euros per litre, diesel 2.13 euros per litre, and blue diesel 1.47 euros per litre. LPG for tanks would cost 1.79 euros per kilogram, while the price for bottles would reach 2.49 euros per kilogram.
The new prices will apply from Tuesday, 13 October, and will remain valid until the next regular adjustment of fuel prices.
