This also has an impact when refueling, so the ARBÖ recommends filling up your car once more before January 1st. From January 1, 2024, a liter of diesel will be 3.7 cents more expensive, and a liter of gasoline will cost 3.4 cents more, ARBÖ President Peter Rezar calculated today. However, he is concerned that there might be a rush at the gas stations before New Year’s Eve.
Rezar criticizes that the climate bonus, which is intended to compensate for CO2 pricing, is far from enough to offset the additional costs. “In the current situation in Austria with price increases and still high inflation, higher taxes are the wrong economic policy,” said the ARBÖ President.
Overall, significantly below last year’s prices
In any case, in 2023 fuel prices will be significantly below the previous year’s level. “While overall prices have risen by around eight percent this year, the prices for Eurosuper and diesel are on average almost nine percent lower this year than in the previous year,” the VCÖ recently calculated. What has remained the same is that in 2023 Eurosuper will once once more be refueled more cheaply than diesel.
