What happened
The regional commerce office prints two weeks on its maximum-price page. Through Sunday 18 October the ceilings are gasoline IO95 at €2.003 a litre, road diesel at €2.091 and marked diesel at €1.644. From Monday 19 October to 25 October they are €2.035, €2.085 and €1.637. Gasoline IO95 is €0.032 higher, road diesel is €0.006 lower, and marked diesel is €0.007 lower. The DGEG workbook still listed on the statistics page was updated 13 October 2026, and its Monday is 12 October, so that mainland average stays with the week now in force.
What it means for you
These ceilings apply from Monday 19 October, not today. Until Sunday night the gasoline maximum stays €2.003. A station may charge less than the ceiling. JM reports that fuel support for companies and institutions runs to the end of the year, with households outside the direct aid, in Fuel support for firms and institutions runs until December. The earlier mainland comparison is in Madeira fuel still about 13 cents cheaper than mainland, PSD says. The weekly list is on the fuel prices page. Related guide: Do you need a car in Madeira?

Updated 26 October 2026: the regional office's page shows only the two latest weekly lists, so the 12–18 October list is no longer on it. The 12–18 October figures here are the ones read from that page on 18 October 2026.
