Fuel prices in Norway

The price right now — and why we say "this month"

The figures at the top are the national average for the latest month from Statistics Norway, which publishes fuel prices around the 10th of each month. It is not the price on the sign at the nearest station today: the pump price swings two to three kroner through the week, and differs by a krone or more between town and country, between chains, and between staffed stations and unmanned ones. For one fill-up, today's sign is what counts. For a 500 km drive where you fill twice in places you do not know, the monthly average is closer than any single sign. That is why Roadme starts from the average and lets you set the price yourself when you are standing at the pump.

What does it cost to drive 100 km?

The consumption figures are the averages we use until you set your own. A motorhome uses 10–13 litres, a small petrol car on open road 5–6. In euros, petrol at NOK 19.59 is about €1.65 a litre — among the highest in Europe, and the reason fuel is the biggest item on a Norwegian road trip.

Fuel on four common drives

From the calculator above, at the consumption in the table and the monthly price. Fuel only — tolls and ferries come on top, and the whole bill is in the calculator.

Note Bergen–Stavanger: 209 km, but fuel for 178. The last 31 km the car spends on ferry decks across the Bjørnafjord and the Boknafjord, and a calculator that multiplies the whole distance by consumption takes 17 per cent too much.

Why the price moves through the week

The chains raise the price at fixed times early in the week, and then it falls, station by station, until the next increase. The pattern is regular enough that the gap between the dearest and the cheapest moment is often two to three kroner a litre — NOK 100–150 on a full tank. Fill when the price is on its way down, not right after the increase, and fill before you head into the mountains: the stations on the E16 and Rv 7 across the high plateau are far apart, and they charge for it.

What you are actually paying for

Around half the pump price is tax: a road-use duty and a CO₂ duty per litre, and 25 per cent VAT on top of everything. The rest is the crude price, which follows oil and the krone, and the retailer's margin. That is why the price can jump several kroner in a month — as in March 2026 — and fall back just as fast.

Electric: at home or on a fast charger

Electricity at home, grid fee included, averages about NOK 4 per kWh over the year, giving the NOK 72 per 100 km in the table. Fast chargers on the road charge NOK 6–10 per kWh, and then the same 100 km costs as much as diesel. The rule on a road trip is simple: leave with a full battery from home, and charge on the way only what you need to get there. Choose Electric in the calculator and the stops on the way become fast chargers of 50 kW and above instead of petrol stations.

Work it out yourself

Kilometres × consumption ÷ 100 × price. Oslo–Bergen: 478 km × 7.5 ÷ 100 = 35.9 litres, × NOK 19.59 = NOK 702. If you do not know your consumption, the WLTP figure is in the handbook; add 10–15 per cent for Norwegian roads with luggage and mountain passes, and more in winter. The calculator above does the sum on the kilometres you actually drive, and the app remembers your consumption for the next drive.
