Initially the CPN package (Lower Fuel Prices) was to run until the end of May, although the March law allows fuel price regulation until the end of June. The government issued a regulation stating that lower fuel prices regulated by the state will remain in effect at least until June 15.
“The CPN package will be extended. Lower VAT, reduced excise duty and the maximum retail price mechanism for fuels will be extended until June 15, 2026. We support price stability at stations, reduce cost pressure and help keep Poland among the EU’s lowest fuel prices,” wrote Minister of Energy Miłosz Motyka on social media after announcing the decision.
The government regulates maximum fuel prices per litre
The CPN package came into force on March 31. It was the government’s response to soaring fuel prices at stations, which were triggered by the outbreak of war in the Middle East, in which the United States and Israel attacked Iran. This caused a global fuel crisis by damaging parts of the infrastructure used for oil extraction and refining, but primarily by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of global oil demand and nearly 30% of gas flowed before the war.
The regulation allows the Minister of Energy to set maximum retail fuel prices. And that’s not all. Thanks to the law, VAT on some fuels such as 95 petrol and diesel was reduced from 23% to 8%. In addition, excise duty on some fuels was also lowered. For petrol at 29 gr, and for diesel at 28 gr. The excise was lowered to the lowest level allowed by the European Union.
However, it should be noted that not all fuels were covered by the government regulation. Among them is autogas.
Fuel prices are getting lower
In recent days, drivers in Poland may have noticed that fuel prices at stations are falling. This is not only thanks to the CPN package, but mainly to the international situation. Oil on global exchanges has started to cheapen, which has also translated into lower wholesale prices.
On Friday, May 29, 2026, the maximum fuel prices will be as follows: a litre of 95 petrol can cost a maximum of 6.16 PLN, and diesel 6.37 PLN.
Average fuel prices in Poland in recent days were higher than those on Friday. According to the e‑petrol.pl portal the nationwide average for 95 petrol is 6.41 PLN per litre, and for diesel 6.71 PLN per litre. The average price of autogas, which is not covered by the CPN package, is 3.62 PLN per litre.
According to data presented by e‑petrol.pl, the highest petrol prices are in the Lower Silesian and Łódź voivodeships. In the latter, we also pay the most for diesel, as well as in the Kuyavian‑Pomeranian, West Pomeranian and Lesser Poland voivodeships. Autogas is most expensive in Opole. On the other hand, the lowest petrol and diesel prices are in the Silesian and Pomeranian voivodeships, and the lowest autogas prices are in Lublin and Świętokrzyskie, where drivers pay the least for autogas.
