Slovenian drivers are in for a welcome surprise: from April 23, fuel prices across the country will fall to their lowest levels in over a year.

The Ministry of Environment, Climate and Energy announced that regular unleaded petrol sold outside motorways will drop by 7.8 cents to €1.417 per litre, while diesel will fall by 8.1 cents, settling at €1.443.

These prices, valid until 5 May, are part of Slovenia’s regulated pricing model for non-motorway stations.

While motorway prices remain market-driven, they’re expected to echo this downward trend.

Unlike in previous adjustments, the government will not alter fuel excise duties—remaining at €0.49693 for petrol and €0.45878 for diesel.

Retail margins are also untouched, standing at roughly 10 cents per litre.

Without regulation, petrol would cost €1.497 and diesel €1.525, according to ministry estimates.

Fuel prices will continue to be recalibrated every fortnight, aligning with global oil movements and the euro-dollar exchange rate.
