Czech Fuel Prices Soar: Prepare for Higher Gas and Diesel Costs

Fuel Prices in Czech Republic: A Climb Ahead?

Prague, Czech Republic – gasoline just hit a 2020 high, diesel too, according to data from the Czech Statistical Office (CSO). Last September saw gasoline at its priciest point, while diesel peaked mid-August. Analysts warn that prices are set to climb further in the coming days.

Why the Increase?

Experts point to a lag in gasoline prices reflecting the surge in Brent oil prices on global markets this year. Brent crude is now about 5.5% pricier than it was at the start of 2025, despite a slight dip last week.

Lukáš Kovanda, economist at Trinity Bank, explains, "The Czech koruna’s slight strengthening against the dollar is damping the impact of rising oil prices on local fuel costs. This is partly thanks to US President Donald Trump’s tariff threats on EU and Chinese imports, which haven’t materialized yet, keeping the koruna stable."

What’s the Outlook?

Prepare for another jolt at the pump – analysts predict an increase of 10 to 30 Czech halers per liter in the next few days. However, a slight decrease could follow in February, according to Jarosław Ton, head of Malcom Finance.

Fuel prices began scaling up from the start of 2025. Compared to late December, gasoline is now 1.10 korunas dearer per liter, and diesel has inflated by 1.40 korunas. Year-on-year, gasoline is up 50 halers, while diesel has surged 15 halers.

Where’s the Cheapest Fuel?

Motorists in the Ústí Region enjoy the lowest gasoline prices, averaging 36.14 korunas per liter. Diesel is most affordable in the Zlín region, at 35.52 korunas per liter. Conversely, Prague pumps offer the highest prices, with gasoline at 38.53 korunas and diesel at 38.30 korunas per liter.
