Greece currently has the 5th most expensive price in Europe (and 7th in the world), with only Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland, in order, exceeding the 2.277 euros/litre that unleaded costs in our country.
On the other hand, the record for the lowest price in Europe is held by Belarus, where petrol costs just 0.654 euros/litre. The reason for this very low price of petrol has to do with the embargo imposed on Russian oil by the European Union, which does not apply to Belarus, which continues to use oil from its neighbouring country.
Fuel
Due to its low demand, Russian oil costs very cheap, thus helping Belarus to have such a low price. Similarly, the second lowest unleaded price in Europe is in Russia itself at €0.743/litre, which as an oil-producing country channels the surplus oil it cannot export to the EU into the domestic market, thus drastically reducing the price of fuel.
Beyond that and as far as the European Union is concerned, Hungary with 1.223 euros per litre remains the country with the lowest price of unleaded petrol, taking advantage of the government's measures, followed by Malta with 1.34 euros per litre and Moldova with 1.525 euros per litre.
