How much do petrol and diesel cost in Norway?
Latest monthly averages from Statistics Norway and what they mean for a trip.
Short answer
Statistics Norway's latest monthly average, for August 2026, puts unleaded 95 petrol at just over NOK 19 per litre and diesel at between NOK 21 and 22. The exact averages were NOK 19.42 for petrol and NOK 21.48 for diesel. These are national averages, so the price at a given station today can be higher or lower.
Why
- Statistics Norway (SSB) publishes monthly average pump prices in NOK per litre for unleaded 95 petrol and diesel in table 09654.
- Diesel rose from NOK 20.25 per litre in July 2026 to NOK 21.48 in August, while petrol fell from NOK 19.59 to NOK 19.42.
- Visit Norway says fuel prices in Norway are high due to global supply issues and environmental policies.
Details
Between May and August 2026 the petrol average moved between NOK 18.43 and NOK 19.59 per litre. SSB last updated the table on 21 September 2026, so the September figure was not yet published on 15 October. Visit Norway warns that fuel stations can be few and far between in the mountains and other remote areas.
Tip
Fill up in towns before mountain passes and long remote stretches, and check the price board at the station, since the SSB figure is only an average.
