Friday’s maximum rates

The caps are PLN 6.90 per litre for petrol 95, PLN 7.77 for petrol 98 and PLN 7.82 for diesel. They are ministry maximums, not average prices across Polish stations.

The cost of 40 litres

Our calculation for 40 litres at these rates gives PLN 276 for petrol 95, PLN 310.80 for petrol 98 and PLN 312.80 for diesel. It excludes additional purchases and any discounts.
