- Oil producers (Russia, Belarus) benefit from domestic refining capacity, keeping costs low.
- Import‑dependent nations (Switzerland, Italy, Greece) pay more due to transport costs and reliance on global markets.
3. Currency Strength
- Countries with weaker currencies (Ukraine, Moldova) face higher import costs, but government subsidies keep prices relatively low compared to Western Europe.
- Strong‑currency nations (Eurozone, Scandinavia) see higher nominal prices.
4. Environmental Policies
- Northern and Western Europe enforce carbon taxes and green levies, raising pump prices.
- Eastern Europe and CIS countries prioritize affordability over emissions, keeping prices lower.
5. Market Competition & Subsidies
- Competitive markets (Poland, Spain) keep prices moderate.
- State‑controlled markets (Belarus, Russia) use subsidies to maintain artificially low prices.
