Dutch petrol prices continue to fall, approaching 2.45 euros

Petrol prices in the Netherlands have continued their downward trend, with the recommended price for Euro95 reaching approximately 2.45 euros per liter. This decrease follows a record high observed in early October, while diesel prices have also seen a modest decline.

Fuel prices in the Netherlands have seen a continued decline, with the recommended retail price for a liter of Euro95 petrol reaching 2.457 euros on Saturday. This figure marks a decrease of 0.6 cents compared to the previous day. This trend follows a record high set on October 10, when the average recommended price for petrol reached 2.732 euros per liter. Similarly, diesel prices have also trended downward, currently averaging 2.60 euros per liter after a 1.2-cent drop.

These figures are based on daily data tracked by UnitedConsumers, which monitors the recommended prices set by major oil companies. It is important to note that these specific rates generally apply to fuel stations located along highways, where prices are typically higher than at other locations throughout the country. Motorists may often find more competitive pricing away from the main motorway network.
