In September 2025, Portugal's diesel price rose 5.1% in the EU, placing it ninth among EU countries with the smallest monthly increase. This follows a 31.4% surge across the EU in September 2025, driven by four countries exceeding 40% increases: Bulgaria (42.2%), Estonia (40.6%), and Lithuania (40.2%). Portugal's price increase of 5.1% was the ninth smallest in the EU, while Spain recorded the lowest increase at 2.4% and Croatia at 2.5%. The evidence indicates a shift from July to August where diesel prices fell 5.9% and gasoline rose 6.7%, contrasting with September's overall EU trend.
