Frequently asked questions
Is fuel cheaper in Latvia or Lithuania?
Neither — petrol 95 costs effectively the same on both sides this week, €1.95 per litre in Latvia against €1.95 in Lithuania. That is under half a cent a litre, so there is no saving to be had by crossing for fuel alone.
Is it worth crossing the border to fill up?
Not for petrol. The two sides are within half a cent a litre of each other, which is under €0.25 on a 50-litre tank — less than the fuel a short detour would burn getting there.
How current are these prices?
Both sides are 2026-10-19 national averages including all duties and taxes — European Commission, DG Energy — Weekly Oil Bulletin for Latvia. Individual stations vary around the average, and forecourts right at a border crossing routinely price above it precisely because they can.
