Analysts at E-petrol.pl emphasize that the decreasing chances of calming the situation in the Middle East stimulates rising prices on oil exchanges, and the effect of rising oil prices is already visible on the wholesale fuel market in Poland.

– The positive direction of changes in the oil markets was reflected in wholesale fuel prices in Poland. A sharp rise in prices before the weekend made both 95-grade gasoline and diesel fuel at refineries the most expensive in three months. A cubic meter of gasoline is currently valued by producers at an average of 5,019.40 zlotys, which means that since last Friday the price has increased by almost 50 zlotys. Diesel fuel today costs PLN 46.60 more than a week ago, and its current price is PLN 5,365.80 per cubic meter – experts write.

Fuel prices in early February. More salary increases

As predicted, the beginning of February brought a continued rise in fuel prices at stations, although their dynamics were slower than a week ago. Unleaded 95 gasoline has risen in price by 2 cents; a liter of this fuel costs an average of 6.36 zlotys. In the case of diesel fuel and automobile gas, the increase was one penny. Their current average price is 6.55 PLN/l and 2.93 PLN/l respectively.

The increase in refueling costs could be higher, but retail market operators have limited their margins, which are already very low, especially in the case of diesel fuel.

– Fuel sellers no longer have the opportunity to compensate for price increases, which, given the high prices on the wholesale market, indicates a further increase in prices at gas stations. Our forecast for the coming week assumes the following price ranges for individual types of fuel: 6.31-6.42 zł/l for gasoline with an octane rating of 95, 6.54-6.66 zł/l for diesel fuel, 6.54 -6.66 PLN/l for autogas 2.91-2, PLN. 97/l – experts say on e-petrol.pl.
