Fuel price rise slows in June in the EU – and in Portugal?
The price of fuels and lubricants for private transport in the European Union (EU) increased by 13.7% in June compared to the same month of 2025, according to Eurostat.
The pace of growth, however, slowed down from the annual increases of 20.8% in April and 20.7% in May, also indicates the EU statistical office.
Portugal is in the 11th place of the table, with an increase of about 17%, a slowdown from the increases of 23% in April and 25% in May.

Fuel prices have skyrocketed after the war launched in February against Iran by the United States and Israel, and conflicts have resumed in recent weeks, interrupting a ceasefire that had led to the reopening of the Ormuz Strait in the Persian Gulf to commercial navigation.
