Petrol price today
The official maximum price of the four petrols sold in Belgium, tomorrow’s price and what your fill-up costs.
The official maximum price of 95 E10 petrol in Belgium is €1.988 a litre on 31 October 2026, including 21% VAT. 95 E5 sells for at most €2.021, which is 3.3 c dearer a litre than E10, and 98 E5 for at most €2.149, against €2.145 for 98 E10. The FPS Economy sets these ceilings under the programme agreement between the State and the Energia federation; no station may go above them. The official tariff for 1 November 2026 is known: 95 E10 stays at the same price. Over a year 95 E10 has had 48 new tariffs, 31 of them rises, with an average move of 4.4 c; its price ranged between €1.573 and €2.108, averaging €1.821. A 40-litre fill-up of 95 E10 costs at most €79.52 today, and €85.96 in 98 E5.

Four petrols, four ceilings
The pump offers up to four kinds of petrol, and the official tariff sets a maximum price for each. 95 E10 is the reference for most petrol cars; 95 E5 contains less ethanol; 98, as E5 or E10, has a higher octane rating. The latest change to 95 E10 dates from 28 October 2026 (−1.4 c a litre).
| Petrol | Today | Tomorrow | Latest tariff excl. VAT | One-year average |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Petrol 95 E5 | €2.021 | €2.021 | €1.670 | €1.845 |
| Petrol 98 E5 | €2.149 | €2.149 | €1.776 | €1.925 |

The excluding-VAT column repeats the latest tariff Statbel publishes on be.STAT. 21% VAT is then added, and it is the VAT-inclusive price that the station may not exceed.
E10: a question to settle once
For most drivers the only real decision is whether their car can take E10. If it can, 95 E10 is today the cheapest petrol at the pump and there is no reason to pay more. Today E5 is 3.3 c dearer a litre; over the last twelve months the average gap was 2.4 c. If the car cannot take E10, the choice is between 95 E5 and 98 E5, and the fuel prices page compares any two products on the volume you enter.
98: an extra worth pricing
98 E5 is 16.1 c dearer a litre than 95 E10 today. If the manufacturer requires 98, that extra is part of the cost of the car; if it simply recommends 95, it buys nothing. To turn it into a yearly figure, the fuel budget page starts from your mileage and your real consumption.
What spring 2026 shows
The bill DOC 56 1452/001, tabled in the Chamber on 30 March 2026, quotes two official tariffs. Between 28 February and 27 March 2026, 95 E10 went from €1.634 to €1.863, a move of +22.9 c, and 98 E5 from €1.723 to €1.929, a move of +20.6 c, while diesel B7 gained +40.5 c over the same weeks. Petrol therefore does not always react as sharply as diesel; that price is tracked on the diesel price page.
What the tool does
Pick the petrol and the size of your fill-up: the tool shows today’s maximum price, tomorrow’s (the official tariff if published, otherwise an estimate), the date of the latest change, the cost of the fill-up and how the moves over 7 days, 30 days and a year affect it. For tomorrow alone, with petrol’s own pattern of changes, see petrol price tomorrow.
