Maximum fuel prices for 15 October 2026
| Fuel | Cap excluding VAT, PLN/l | Cap including VAT, PLN/l |
|---|---|---|
| Pb95 petrol | 6.49 | 7.01 |
| Pb98 petrol | 7.25 | 7.83 |
| Diesel | 7.45 | 8.05 |
Both sets of values come from the original notice, item 1000 (PDF). The retail figures include 8% VAT.
These caps apply at every filling station in Poland. They are maximum prices, so a station can charge less. Under the rule the Ministry of Energy states in its fuel price announcements, a new cap applies from the day after its publication in Monitor Polski. The notice of 14 October therefore applies on Thursday, 15 October.
What changes from 14 October?
The changes per litre, including VAT, are:
- Pb95: -0.10 PLN, from 7.11 to 7.01 PLN/l.
- Pb98: -0.18 PLN, from 8.01 to 7.83 PLN/l.
- Diesel: +0.07 PLN, from 7.98 to 8.05 PLN/l.
After four notices with higher petrol caps, both petrol caps fall, and the Pb98 cut is the largest since rollout. Pb95 still stays above 7 PLN/l. The diesel cap goes above 8 PLN/l again and, after a single day, is once more higher than the Pb98 cap, this time by 0.22 PLN/l. The comparison uses notices 996 and 1000.
