Gas prices in Europe increased last month

Petrol prices have been on the rise in Central Europe during the last month, and prices remain higher in the Czech Republic than in neighbouring Poland or Slovakia. A litre of fuel currently costs over 30.90 crowns (1.60 US dollars ). Yet the highest price increases have come in Italy, the Netherlands, and in the United Kingdom. Analysts say that prices in the Czech Republic could fall slightly in the coming days, this thanks to the strong Czech crown.
