LPG price today

The official maximum price of autogas, tomorrow’s price, and the consumption up to which LPG stays cheaper than petrol.

The official maximum price of LPG, or autogas, is €1.109 a litre at the pump in Belgium on 31 October 2026, including 21% VAT, against €1.988 for 95 E10 petrol and €2.452 for diesel B7. The ceiling is set by the FPS Economy under the programme agreement between the State and the Energia federation, and no station selling LPG may exceed it. Tomorrow’s tariff, for 1 November 2026, is out and leaves LPG unchanged. Per litre, 95 E10 costs 1.79 times the price of LPG: an LPG car therefore stays cheaper per kilometre as long as it burns no more than 1.79 times as many litres as it would on petrol. Over a year the LPG tariff changed 35 times, between €0.792 on 13 August 2026 and €1.109 on 31 October 2026.

The right sum: price per kilometre, not per litre

Comparing a litre of LPG with a litre of petrol says little, because an LPG car burns more of it. The real question is: up to what consumption does LPG still come out ahead? The answer lies in the ratio between the two maximum prices. Today it is 1.79 against 95 E10 and 2.21 against diesel B7.

Break-even point on 31 October 2026: above these figures, LPG costs more per kilometre than 95 E10. The consumption figures are examples to replace with your own.
Petrol consumptionCost of 100 km on 95 E10LPG consumption not to exceed
5 L/100 km€9.949.0 L
6 L/100 km€11.9310.8 L
7 L/100 km€13.9212.5 L
8 L/100 km€15.9014.3 L

To price your own case, the fuel budget page works out the yearly cost from your mileage and real consumption: run it once on LPG and once on petrol, with your own car’s figures.

Over a year LPG has gained 27.5 c a litre. On Statbel’s yearly averages, LPG went from €0.510 in 2019 to €0.894 in 2026, the current year. These series can be consulted on be.STAT; every curve, fuel by fuel, is on the fuel price history page.

A ceiling, not a set price

As with petrol and diesel, the LPG maximum price is a legal ceiling: selling above it is forbidden, selling below it is allowed. The latest tariff published, for 3 November 2026, is made up of €0.917 excluding VAT plus 21% VAT. The pump price can therefore differ from one station to another, but never upwards. Every fuel of the day is listed on the fuel prices page.

What the tool does

The tool shows today’s and tomorrow’s LPG maximum price, the date of the latest change, the cost of a fill-up of the volume you enter and how much that fill-up has gained or lost over 7 days, 30 days and a year. The figures come from the be.STAT daily series; the method page explains the next-day estimate.

Frequently asked questions

Is driving on LPG really cheaper than on petrol?

Per litre, yes: today LPG is capped at €1.109 against €1.988 for 95 E10. Per kilometre it all depends on consumption. The break-even point is simple: dividing the two prices gives 1.79. A car burning 6 litres of petrol per 100 km stays cheaper on LPG as long as it uses less than 10.8 litres of it. Enter your real figures in the fuel budget.

Why does an LPG car use more litres?

Because a litre of liquefied petroleum gas holds less energy than a litre of petrol. The engine therefore has to burn more of it to cover the same distance. The gap depends on the car, the injection system and the driving: only your own record, fill-up after fill-up, gives it reliably. That is the figure to compare with the break-even point worked out on this page.

Does the LPG maximum price change often?

Less often than petrol and diesel. Over the last 365 days LPG got 35 new tariffs, 20 rises and 15 cuts, against 48 for 95 E10 petrol. The latest change dates from 31 October 2026, at +3.8 c a litre. When it moves, it does so by 3.2 c a litre on average.

Does every filling station sell LPG?

No, only some stations have an LPG pump, and the network is far thinner than for petrol or diesel. The maximum price, however, is the same everywhere: any station selling it must stay under that day’s ceiling. Before a long trip, finding the equipped stations along the route saves having to switch over to the petrol tank.

Do pump LPG and bulk propane in a tank cost the same?

No, they are separate lines of the official tariff. Propane delivered in bulk for heating has its own maximum prices, by volume band; today, under 2,000 litres of propane is capped at €1.056 a litre, against €1.109 for LPG at the pump. The pump tariff applies only to filling a vehicle.
