Fuel stations in Poland must sell motor fuels at or below the maximum prices fixed for 95-octane petrol, 98-octane petrol and diesel.Sejm For unleaded 95 petrol (CN 2710 12 45) the ceiling is 5.60 zł per dm3 net
Sejm, or 6.04 zł per litre including value-added tax
Sejm. For unleaded 98 petrol (CN 2710 12 49) the ceiling is 6.18 zł per dm3 net
Sejm, or 6.67 zł per litre including value-added tax
Sejm. For diesel (CN 2710 19 42, 2710 19 44 and 2710 20 11) the ceiling is 7.16 zł per dm3 net
Sejm, or 7.74 zł per litre including value-added tax
Sejm.
The net figures apply per cubic decimetre and the tax-inclusive figures per litre. The three grades are the liquid fuels within the meaning of Article 2(1)(4) of the ustawa z dnia 25 sierpnia 2006 r. o systemie monitorowania i kontrolowania jakości paliw, which covers motor petrol used in spark-ignition engines and diesel used in compression-ignition engines, including in agricultural tractors, non-road machinery and recreational craft. Petrol containing up to the statutory shares of biocomponents or ethyl-tert-butyl or ethyl-tert-amyl ether, and diesel containing up to the statutory share of biocomponents, fall inside the same definitions.
The ceiling is recalculated dailySejm. It equals the arithmetic mean of the previous working day's wholesale selling prices per dm3 at the 15 °C reference temperature charged by the five producers or traders with the largest share of the domestic market, plus excise duty and the fuel charge, plus 0.30 zł per litre towards operating costs. Those five producers or traders must report their wholesale prices for the day to the minister responsible for energy raw materials every working day by 9:00 a.m. in electronic form, and the minister announces the resulting maximum price the same day in Monitor Polski, giving both the per-dm3 figure and the tax-inclusive per-litre figure.
A maximum price announced on a given day applies from the next day.Sejm A price announced on the working day before a Saturday, Sunday, public holiday or other day off applies through the next working day after that break, including that day.
Sejm Offering liquid fuels for sale above the announced maximum is prohibited
Sejm, and sellers must apply a selling price no higher than the maximum
Sejm. Station operators should therefore update pump and till prices for each day the ceiling changes, keep the day's Monitor Polski figure on file as the till control, and check the pre-weekend figure since it governs the whole weekend and any public holidays that follow it
Sejm.
The price cap operates under Article 34a of the ustawa z dnia 16 lutego 2007 r. o zapasach ropy naftowej, produktów naftowych i gazu ziemnego oraz zasadach postępowania w sytuacjach zagrożenia bezpieczeństwa paliwowego państwa i zakłóceń na rynku naftowym, which provides for a maximum station price during the period of reduced value-added tax rates for liquid fuels, with daily announcement by the minister responsible for energy raw materials under Article 34a(5).
Cap pump and till prices at 6.04 zł/l for 95-octane petrol, 6.67 zł/l for 98-octane petrol and 7.74 zł/l for diesel from 10 November 2026 and track the daily Monitor Polski figure.
