The price for a liter of petrol 95 (E10) rises to a new record on Saturday. At the pump, a liter will then cost a maximum of 1,799 euros, reports the Federal Public Service Economy. This is an increase of 2.9 cents. Diesel is also becoming more expensive for the second time in a week. However, there are major differences between the various filling stations.

For those who do not have a company car with a fuel card, it will be an expensive joke. A full tank with 50 liters of Super 95 (E10) will cost 1.45 euros more from Saturday, for 50 liters of Super 98 (E5) you pay 1.70 euros extra. And diesel is again becoming more expensive. For a full tank of 50 liters of diesel (B7) you pay 1.10 euros extra from Saturday. Those are record prices.
The previous record for petrol 95 (E10) dates from November (1,797 euros per litre), according to data from Energia, the former Petroleum Federation. In 2012, even more was paid for the ‘regular’ petrol at the pump, but then it was the old 95 (E5), which is no longer available. That fuel contained less biofuel.
The maximum price of petrol 98 (E5) also continues to rise: +3.4 cents to 1.908 euros per litre. The record was already broken here at the beginning of February.
And for diesel (B7), 2.2 cents is added, which brings the maximum price to 1,838 euros per liter. The price is below the record level of 1.85 euros that was reached earlier this month. On Thursday, the price of diesel had fallen slightly.
Those who are often on the road can save something or something by seeing where they take fuel. For example, Super 95 (E10) is on average the cheapest in Walloon Brabant and East Flanders, says Chris Decroix of Carbu.com, which compares fuel prices. Super 98 (E5) is usually cheaper in Walloon Brabant than in Flanders, while the average diesel price in East Flanders is lower.
And what in my municipality or city? Carbu.com is constantly comparing fuel prices. If you type in your municipality or city and then click on the green block, you will see the gas station that offers the cheapest fuel prices.
For example, we see that those who live in Antwerp (prices on 11 February) had the cheapest off at Esso Express in Wilrijk for Super 95 (E10). And that whoever lives in Bruges and has a diesel tank is the cheapest at Brugge Maes.
