Fuel prices at service stations across the European Union are rising as governments allow temporary price caps and subsidies to expire.
The removal of these supports is passing higher costs directly to consumers, reversing the relief provided during earlier periods of elevated energy costs.
In Austria, the reduction of the price brake has led to higher prices for both gasoline and diesel.
While fuel remains more expensive in neighboring Italy, France, and Germany, drivers in Slovenia and Croatia continue to benefit from lower retail costs.
This divergence highlights the varying pace at which EU member states are withdrawing fiscal support from the energy sector.
The trend aligns with broader regional data showing significant year-on-year increases in fuel costs.
