Thin on the right so far

None of the 6 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated right.

This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

On October 27, 2026, fuel prices will see changes across several European countries. In Slovenia, gasoline prices are set to decrease by 7.5 cents per litre, reaching 1.627 euros, while diesel will increase by 1.2 cents to 1.935 euros per litre. Heating oil will also rise by 1.2 cents to 1.558 euros per litre. These new prices are valid until November 2, 2026. The government has also requested permission from the European Commission to temporarily lower fuel excise duties.

Croatia will also implement new fuel prices on October 27, 2026. Gasoline prices will decrease by four cents per litre to 1.69 euros, while diesel and blue diesel prices will increase by one cent. These prices will be regulated by the government for seven days. In the Czech Republic, the Ministry of Finance announced that gasoline prices will be capped at 44.47 koruny per litre, a decrease of 8 haléřů, while diesel prices will be capped at 48.96 koruny per litre, an increase of 27 haléřů. These regulations are a response to the conflict in the Middle East and supply chain issues.

In Poland, the Minister of Energy announced new maximum fuel prices for October 27, 2026. Diesel prices are set to rise above 8 złoty, with specific maximum prices announced for 95-octane gasoline at PLN 6.58 per litre and 98-octane gasoline at PLN 7.27 per litre. These increases follow a period of price reductions, with wholesale prices having been raised by Orlen on the preceding Saturday.

Disagreement on Polish gasoline prices

Reports differ on the direction of gasoline prices in Poland. Rzeczpospolita digest states that gasoline prices rose for the first time after eight consecutive declines. However, Polsat News and Kronika24.pl digests report that 95-octane gasoline will cost no more than PLN 6.58 and PLN 6.58/l respectively, while Spottedlublin.pl digest claims gasoline prices are also getting more expensive.

What the coverage left out

None of the reports mention any fuel price changes or trends in Russia beyond a statement from the Russian Government that fuel price trends are stabilizing. No right-rated outlet ran this story.
