In Estonia, 98-octane petrol already costs more than 1.7 euros per litre in some places. The price is a record high. A litre of 95-octane petrol now costs about 1.65 euros. <\/b>The price of diesel is about 1.50 euros per litre.<\/p>\n

The price of 1.7 euros for a litre of 98-octane petrol is about 10 cents more than in Riga and 8.5 cents more than in Vilnius. However, the prices are still considerably cheaper than in Finland, where petrol already costs more than 2 euros per litre.<\/p>\n
