Price of petrol to reach new record level
The Federal Economy Department has announced that from tomorrow (Saturday 11 June) the maximum price that can be charged for a litre of petrol 95 (E10) will increase by 1.7 eurocent to 2.155 euro. Never before will a litre of petrol 95 have cost so much in Belgium. The previous record price was set just last week.
Despite the rise in the maximum price of a litre of petrol 95 (E10), the maximum price payable for a litre of the more expensive petrol 98 (E5) will fall by 0.8 eurocent to 2.394 euro/litre.
The maximum price of a litre of LPG will also fall from tomorrow by 3.4 eurocent to 0.769 euro/litre.
Meanwhile, the maximum price that can be charged for a litre of diesel (B7) will remain unchanged at 2.1880 euro/litre.
The maximum price payable for a litre of heating oil will go up again from tomorrow. Those ordering more than 2,000 litres will have to pay 1.4516 euro/litre, a rise of 3.08 eurocent on the current maximum price.
