The caps are 6.56 PLN/l for Pb95 petrol, 7.28 PLN/l for Pb98 petrol and 7.99 PLN/l for diesel, including VAT. They are set in [Monitor Polski 2026, item 1029](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/1029), published on 22 October and effective the following day. ### Is the diesel cap back below 8 PLN/l? Yes. On 23 October, the cap falls from 8.02 to 7.99 PLN/l including VAT, a decrease of 0.03 PLN/l between notices [1023](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/1023) and [1029](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/1029). Buying 600 litres at these maximum prices would cost 18 PLN less including VAT. ### Do Friday's caps also cover the weekend? The notice published on 22 October sets the caps for Friday, 23 October. Under the [rule explained by the Ministry of Energy](https://www.gov.pl/web/energia/maksymalna-cena-detaliczna-paliw-obowiazujaca-23-pazdziernika-2026-r), weekend caps come from the notice published on the last working day before the weekend and apply up to and including the next working day. Thursday's published amounts should therefore not be carried forward to Saturday and Sunday.
