What this site does

Fuel Today (Karburanti Sot) is an independent fuel price comparison website for Albania and Europe. It collects public country-level fuel price data, converts it into a consistent EUR-per-liter format, and presents it with editorial context so drivers can make informed decisions about where and when to refuel.

The site tracks petrol (gasoline 95), diesel, and LPG across 33 European markets, with dedicated pages for Albania, Kosovo, Greece, Italy, Croatia, Portugal, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Data is sourced from public fuel price aggregators and updated daily. Where our source publishes no prices for a country, we say so rather than estimating.

How to interpret country-level prices

Country-level fuel prices represent broad reference values from available datasets. They are useful for comparison and planning, but individual station prices can vary based on competition, location, brand, and delivery timing. Use the numbers for trend and spread analysis, then validate your exact station before buying fuel.

For Albania specifically, the displayed price is most representative of major-city stations. Rural and highway stations may differ by 2-8 ALL/L. The EUR conversion uses mid-market exchange rates from a public FX source.

Albania and Balkan context

Albania sits at the center of several busy cross-border driving corridors: Tirana–Pristina (Kosovo), Tirana–Podgorica (Montenegro), and Tirana–Ioannina (Greece). The price differences at those borders are large enough to be worth planning around, and they change: the Kosovo gap has widened substantially during 2026, while Greece and Italy have moved from being more expensive than Albania to slightly cheaper on diesel. Rather than quoting a fixed figure that will date, we publish the current gaps on the comparison page and explain what they mean for a tank of fuel in our cross-border fill-up guide.
