Filling up a car has never cost more on average across the European Union, according to European Commission data going back more than two decades. At the latest average prices, it costs about €103 to fill a 50-litre tank with petrol and €108 with diesel.

Eurozone energy inflation rose to 14.3% in August, up from 10.3% in July, according to the European Central Bank. A litre of petrol cost a weighted EU average of €2.063 as of 14 September, while diesel reached €2.159 per litre. Both were the highest readings in the Commission's series, which begins in 2005.
