The price of diesel continues to climb to dizzying heights—just how high remains to be seen. On Thursday, it rose to 2.279 euros per liter, reaching an all-time high. This will have massive repercussions on your wallet the next time you need to fill up. You can now see where to fill up for the cheapest price in the “Krone” gas station guide.

The ongoing tensions in the Persian Gulf and concerns about oil supplies have driven the price of diesel higher and higher in recent days. It had already reached a record high of 2.268 euros per liter on Wednesday. On Thursday, it rose again and, according to data from E-Control, reached 2.279 euros per liter—a new all-time high. The price of premium gasoline, on the other hand, fell from 1.959 euros per liter on Wednesday to 1.949 euros.
