How fuel prices work in Croatia
The Croatian government sets maximum retail prices for standard petrol (Eurosuper 95), standard diesel (Eurodiesel), red diesel and bottled LPG. The decision is made on Mondays and the new caps apply from Tuesday. Premium fuels such as Eurosuper 100 and additive diesel, and LPG for cars (autoplin), are not capped, so each company sets its own price.
This page does not repeat price forecasts from the news. It shows the actual prices that petrol stations report to the Ministry of Economy, so you see what you will pay at the pump.
Fuel names at Croatian stations
- Eurosuper 95 (or BMB 95): standard unleaded petrol, E5/E10 equivalent.
- Eurosuper 100: premium petrol, not price-capped.
- Eurodizel: standard diesel. Premium diesel names vary by brand.
- Autoplin (UNP): LPG for cars.
- Plavi dizel: red diesel for agriculture and fishing, not for road vehicles.
Is fuel on Croatian motorways more expensive?
Yes. Stations on motorways usually charge a few cents more than stations in towns, which you can also see in the official data. On a long drive, fill up before you join the motorway. If you are driving down through Germany, Austria and Slovenia, compare countries on the European fuel price page (in German) and plan the whole trip with the driving to Croatia cost calculator.
How to calculate your fuel cost
Trip cost = kilometres ÷ 100 × consumption × price. For 400 km at 6.5 l/100 km and 1.69 €/l you need 26 litres, about 43.94 €. To measure real consumption, fill the tank to the top, note the kilometres, and at the next full fill-up divide the litres by the kilometres and multiply by 100.
