The tense situation in the Middle East, Israel’s war with Iran and the recent US attack on Iran have affected crude oil prices on global stock exchanges. The price of a barrel rose, and fuel prices at filling stations increased almost immediately afterwards.
Filling stations in Bolesławiec still have the highest prices in the region (excluding motorway stations, where it is even more expensive in some places).
On Tuesday, 24 June, at around 12:00 p.m., at the MOL and Orlen stations in Bolesławiec, 95-octane petrol cost PLN 6.19, while diesel cost PLN 6.24.
It was slightly cheaper at Amic stations, where petrol cost PLN 6.13, and diesel 6.17 PLN.
Prices below PLN 6 per litre were available at the Pieprzyk station, where 95-octane petrol cost PLN 5.95, while diesel cost PLN 5.89.
Analysts on fuel prices
Reading forecasts and analyses concerning fuel prices in Poland in the national press, one gets the impression that these studies do not apply to Bolesławiec, where things are different anyway (that is, more expensive).
On 24 June, an article appeared on Business Insider, which stated:
– Since the escalation of the conflict in Iran began, wholesale prices have risen sharply, something that is not yet visible at filling stations – the long weekend in Poland certainly did not contribute to this. There is room for increases, however – I would expect petrol prices at filling stations to rise by several or a dozen or so groszy per litre within a few days, while diesel could become more expensive by even more than 20 groszy – says an expert from BM Reflex.
(...) According to e-petrol.pl forecasts, 95-octane petrol prices should range from 5.72 to 5.84 per litre in the near future. Diesel is expected to cost between 5.88 and 6.01...
