Petrol price to increase by 5.2%, diesel by 22.91% in October - COPEC projects
The Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) has projected a significant increase in fuel prices from Thursday, October 1, 2026, with diesel expected to record the highest increase of 22.91%.
Petrol drivers in Spain will receive a significant boost to their fuel discount in October, with the government announcing a jump from 5 cents to 20 cents per litre, according to wire material. This discount could save up to €10 on a 50-litre tank. Diesel drivers will continue to receive their existing discount of 20 cents per litre.
The government aims to protect households and businesses from high energy prices with this measure. The fuel tax discount is set to decrease again before Christmas, falling to 13 cents per litre in November and 6 cents in December. The cut to the hydrocarbons tax, which includes a safeguard clause linked to inflation, has been implemented as a fixed cut per litre rather than a VAT reduction.
As pump prices continue to rise, petrol drivers might consider waiting to fill up until October 1 to save around €7.50 on a 50-litre tank.
