Fuel prices today

The official maximum prices of every road fuel, today and tomorrow, and the difference between two fuels on your fill-up.

The official maximum fuel prices in Belgium on 31 October 2026, including 21% VAT, are: Diesel B7 €2.452, Diesel B10 €2.443, 95 E10 €1.988, 95 E5 €2.021, 98 E5 €2.149, 98 E10 €2.145, LPG €1.109. Per litre the cheapest is LPG (autogas) at the pump and the dearest diesel B7, a gap of 134.3 c. These are ceilings set by the FPS Economy under the programme agreement between the Belgian State and the petroleum federation Energia; they apply across the country, and a station may sell for less, never for more. For 1 November 2026 the official tariffs of every fuel are already out: no price changes. Diesel B7 is today 46.4 c dearer than 95 E10 petrol; over the last 362 days diesel was dearer than 95 E10 every single day.

Every road fuel, today and tomorrow

The table lists the seven road fuels in the official tariff, from diesel to LPG. The “tomorrow” column gives the official tariff once published; otherwise it shows an estimate, which binds no one. The last column repeats the excluding-VAT price of the latest published tariff.

Official maximum prices a litre, VAT included except in the last column, on 31 October 2026.

Each fuel has its own page: diesel price, petrol price and LPG price. Heating oil, which follows the same system, is covered separately on the heating oil price tomorrow page.

Who sets fuel prices in Belgium

The maximum price of petroleum products is not a free price. It comes from the programme agreement between the Belgian State and the petroleum federation Energia, whose technical annex dates from 9 October 2006, and it is the FPS Economy that publishes the tariff. The calculation starts from international product quotations that are paid for and not published, so nobody can recompute the official tariff in advance. Selling above the maximum is forbidden, as the Social Heating Fund points out; selling below it is allowed. How the system works is explained on the maximum price page.

Diesel or petrol: today’s gap and the year’s

Diesel B7 and 95 E10 petrol are the two fuels most often compared. Today the gap between them is 46.4 c a litre, or €23.20 on a 50-litre fill-up, in favour of petrol. Over the last 362 days diesel was dearer than 95 E10 every single day, with an average difference of +23.1 c a litre. To follow both prices over time, the fuel price history page draws each curve over one month, three months, six months or a year.

How to use the comparison tool

The tool at the top compares any two fuels on the volume you enter, at today’s maximum price, and ranks every road fuel from cheapest to dearest. It answers questions such as: how much more does a fill-up of 98 cost than one of 95? To go from a fill-up to a yearly budget, use the fuel budget page, and for tomorrow’s price, diesel tomorrow or petrol tomorrow.

Where the figures come from

All prices come from the daily series of the official tariff that Statbel publishes on be.STAT, reused under the CC BY 4.0 licence. MazoutMax is an independent site published by Radif Partners: it is neither the FPS Economy nor Statbel, and it does not sell fuel. The method page describes how the data are read and how the estimate is calculated.

Frequently asked questions

Which fuel is cheapest in Belgium today?

Per litre it is LPG (autogas) at the pump, capped at €1.109 on 31 October 2026. Leaving out LPG, which only suits converted or factory-fitted cars, the cheapest is petrol 95 E10, at €1.988. Price per litre is not enough to choose: your engine’s consumption sets the cost per kilometre, which the fuel budget page works out.

Is the maximum fuel price the same in Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels?

Yes. The official tariff is national: the FPS Economy publishes one maximum price per product, valid at every station in the country, in town and on the motorway. The prices actually displayed can differ from station to station, because each may sell below the ceiling, but no region and no type of station has a higher maximum.

Is VAT included in the maximum fuel price?

Yes, the ceiling that applies at the pump includes 21% VAT. The tariff also gives the price excluding VAT: on 3 November 2026, €1.643 for 95 E10 and €2.026 for diesel B7, before VAT. It is the VAT-inclusive price that caps what you pay per litre at the pump.

Why is the pump price often below the maximum?

Because the maximum is a ceiling, not a set price. Each station sets its own price below that ceiling according to its commercial policy: unmanned stations, supermarket chains and motorway stations do not make the same choices. The maximum price remains the benchmark for what a fill-up can cost at worst, and for checking a receipt.

How often are the fuel prices on this site updated?

The site reads the official tariff published by Statbel several times a day and rebuilds itself each time. The prices on this page come from the latest reading, on 31 October 2026. In your browser the tool then aligns the date with Brussels time, so it switches to the day’s tariff at the right moment.
