    According to Statistics Finland, the average price including taxes in October 2026 was 2.5 euros a litre for diesel, 2.3 euros for petrol 95 and 2.4 euros for petrol 98. Light fuel oil, used for heating, averaged 2.0 euros. Prices rose from September, most for diesel, by 2.5% in a month. Unusually, diesel was more expensive than petrol, so check the price sign before you choose a rental car by fuel type.
