After a period of falling demand for crude oil, the price is on the way up again. Something that causes diesel and petrol prices to rise dramatically.
After a period of relatively calm petrol and diesel prices, crude oil is on the rise again. After hitting a tentative low of $74 per ton, a ton of crude oil is now already around 80 dollars.

The media points to several reasons. On the one hand, several wars and conflicts have flared up in the Middle East, on the other the euro has fallen in value compared to the dollar.
It simply makes it more expensive to buy crude oil, which is traded in the US currency on the world market. It also rubs off here at home.
Right now the liter price for petrol is around DKK 13.69. Otherwise, it is not more than a month ago that the price reached its lowest level in the course of 2024. At the beginning of September, a liter of petrol cost 'only' DKK 13.09.
