Hong Kong has some of the highest diesel prices in the world. As of August 4, 2025, drivers in Hong Kong paid an average of 3.49 U.S. dollars per liter of automotive diesel. This was more than three times the amount paid by drivers in Mainland China. Lower prices are often linked to substantial domestic crude oil production and government subsidies, as is the case in countries such as Venezuela, Iran, and the United States.

The average for 2016 based on 160 countries was 0.87 dollars. The highest value was in Iceland: 1.63 dollars and the lowest value was in Libya: 0.11 dollars. The indicator is available from 1991 to 2016. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

The global fuel energy price index stood at 165.09 index points in July 2025, up from 100 in the base year 2016. Figures decreased that month due to a fall in natural gas prices. The fuel energy index includes prices for crude oil, natural gas, coal, and propane. Supply constraints across multiple commodities The global natural gas price index surged nearly 11-fold, and the global coal price index rose almost seven-fold from summer 2020 to summer 2022. This notable escalation was largely attributed to the Russia-Ukraine war, exerting increased pressure on the global supply chain. Tariffs bring economic uncertainty With the global economy having adjusted to the effects of the Russia-Ukraine war, new uncertainty has emerged due to tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. If these tariffs are fully implemented, global trade could be significantly disrupted, mainly the bilateral trade between the world’s two largest economies. In 2025, import tariffs between China and the United States exceeded 130 percent on both sides, while their tariffs on imports from the rest of the world were around 10 percent. U.S. tariffs on Chinese imported goods reached a high of 134.7 percent in April of that year, while China imposed a 147.6 percent tariff on U.S. goods. Early estimates indicate that the impact of Trump’s proposed tariffs on the U.S. economy could amount to 0.4 percent of GDP, mainly driven by the reduced trade with Mexico, Canada and China.

In July 2025, one gallon of diesel cost an average of 3.78 U.S. dollars in the United States. That was an increase compared to the month prior, but lower than prices in July 2024. Impact of crude prices on motor fuel consumer prices Diesel prices are primarily determined by the cost of crude oil. In fact, crude oil regularly accounts for around 50 percent of end consumer prices of diesel. As such, supply restrictions or weak demand outlooks influence prices at the pump. The fall in diesel prices noted since the latter half of 2024 is a reflection of lower crude prices. Diesel and gasoline price development The usage of distillate fuel oil began in the 1930s, but until further development in the 1960s, diesel vehicles were mostly applied to commercial use only. In the U.S., diesel-powered cars remain a fairly small portion of the automobile market and diesel consumption is far lower than gasoline consumption. In general, gasoline also tends to be more widely available than diesel fuel and usually sells for a lower retail price. However, diesel engines have better fuel economy than gasoline engines and, as such, tend to be used for large commercial vehicles.

In 2024, diesel prices in Poland decreased compared to the previous year, amounting to **** euros per liter. Causes of fuel price fluctuations in Poland in 2018 The increase in fuel prices in Poland was mainly influenced by changes in the international oil and fuel markets and by changes in the exchange rate of the Polish currency to the U.S. dollar. The strengthening of the zloty's exchange rate to the dollar slowed down the scale of price rises for Polish fuel consumers. In 2018, the international situation did not ensure stable prices on the market. Waiting for the introduction of oil sanctions against Iran, a possible trade war between the U.S. and China, or information about a potential further reduction in oil production by OPEC+ countries resulted in rising oil prices in global markets. As soon as it became clear that neither sanctions on Iran nor restrictions on oil production affected the supply of crude oil on the world market as expected, prices on the markets started to fall. Nevertheless, drivers and transport companies have not benefited from the rising average annual prices, although state VAT revenues have increased significantly. Higher sales of liquid fuels, rising prices, and an increase in the number of cars on Polish roads have also resulted in additional income for Polish oil companies. Biofuel market in Poland Transport is the sector that accounts for one of the most significant shares of total carbon dioxide emissions from fuel combustion. Complete replacement of oil in transport is possible but costly. The data show that the consumption of biodiesel in transport is higher every year, and, like energy, transportation has a mandatory target for Renewable Energy Systems in 2020. The dominant renewable energy source in transport is biodiesel, followed by bioethanol and renewable electricity in rail transport. The average EU share of RES in transport is over * percent, while in Poland, it is steadily growing, reaching nearly * percent in 2018.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the largest component of average retail diesel prices in Australia was the international benchmark price, also referred to as Gasoil 10ppm, accounting for a ** percent share. Some of Australia's diesel fuel demand must be imported from international markets, as its local refining capacity cannot produce all of the country's fuel needs.
