Fuel Prices 2025 Slightly Decreased: Styria the Cheapest

On average (as of December 15), a liter of super cost 1.518 euros, while the diesel price averaged 1.537 euros, as the ÖAMTC announced on Tuesday.

According to the information, diesel was more expensive than gasoline for the fourth consecutive year. "The former price advantage seems to have finally disappeared," said ÖAMTC traffic economics expert Dominik Graf. In the past seven years, the total number of diesel cars has decreased by about 350,000 due to the trend towards electrification. However, almost half of all cars registered in Austria are still fueled with diesel.

Fuel and crude oil prices according to ÖAMTC increasingly decoupled

The ÖAMTC has again observed a decoupling of crude oil and fuel prices this year. Cheaper crude oil only led to price reductions at the pumps with a significant delay during the year, while increased crude oil prices were reflected almost simultaneously on the fuel bill. Thus, the annual peak prices for super and diesel in mid-January coincided almost exactly with the peak price for crude oil. The lowest fuel prices were at the beginning of June - about a month after crude oil prices had reached their lowest point.

In 2025, the national CO2 pricing was 55 euros per ton of CO2. Including VAT, this measure accounted for 15 cents per liter of gasoline and 16.5 cents per liter of diesel (due to the higher CO2 content). When adding the mineral oil tax and the remaining VAT, taxes and duties accounted for more than half of the bill at the pumps, according to the ÖAMTC.

Refueling: Price differences between federal states

According to the ÖAMTC, refueling was most expensive in 2025 in Tyrol, followed by Vorarlberg and Salzburg. It was cheaper in Vienna, Burgenland, and Lower Austria, as well as Upper Austria and Carinthia. The cheapest refueling throughout the year was in Styria. There was almost a 10-cent difference per liter of fuel between the most expensive and the cheapest federal state.
