EU consumer prices for petroleum products and consumption statistics

To improve the transparency and to strengthen the internal EU energy market, the European Commission tracks the key market indicators for main petroleum products in the member countries, gathering information about the price changes, consumption, the taxes and the duties.

At the present time, share of taxes and other duties in the petroleum products' consumer prices in EU is about 60% for motor-fuels, and about 30% for a heating fuels. The net price of the Euro-super 95 automotive gasoline, excluding tax component, is only 0.49 euro per litre vs 1.37 euro if taxes included (as of end of Feb 2015).
