Change at stations from Friday. Prices of gasoline and diesel will be lower

Starting Friday, the maximum prices for gasoline and diesel will decrease, with diesel seeing the largest drop of 12 groszy to 7.54 PLN per liter. Gasoline 95 will be capped at 6.06 PLN, while gasoline 98 will be 6.68 PLN. This change is part of the Fuel Price Lowering Package (CPN), aimed at reducing fuel costs for drivers. The new regulations allow for temporary reductions in excise duty and VAT on liquid fuels, funded by a new tax on excessive profits from fuel companies. The CPN package is expected to last until the end of 2026, with a projected cost of around 5 billion PLN. The first phase of CPN was introduced in March in response to rising oil prices due to geopolitical tensions.
