Fuel prices will fluctuate starting Monday, April 27, with diesel expected to decrease by 3.2 cents per litre following a government tax discount adjustment. Petrol prices are forecast to rise by 2.5 cents per litre. These figures are estimates from the Automobile Club of Portugal (Automóvel Club de Portugal or ACP) and may vary by location and gas station.

Update: Government reduces diesel tax discount

The government has officially decided to reduce the planned tax discount on diesel. Consequently, the price per litre will drop by 3.2 cents instead of the originally anticipated four-cent decrease. The tax discount for petrol remains unchanged, confirming the expected 2.5-cent increase per litre.

Context & Explainers

ACP is the Automóvel Club de Portugal (Automobile Club of Portugal). It is a Portuguese motoring association that publishes fuel-price data and weekly forecasts used by motorists, media and retailers to anticipate petrol and diesel price changes when budgeting for trips or refuelling.
