The different types of fuel in Luxembourg
Pros and Cons of Traditional Fuels (Gasoline vs. Diesel)
Traditional fuels, such as gasoline and diesel, have been the preferred choice of motorists for many years. Each type of fuel has its own advantages and disadvantages.
- Gasoline is readily available and delivers excellent performance in gasoline engines. It is also better suited for small vehicles and city driving. However, gasoline tends to be more expensive than diesel and has a larger environmental footprint due to its CO2 emissions.
- Diesel, on the other hand, offers better fuel economy and high torque, making it ideal for heavier vehicles and highway driving. However, diesel has been linked to air pollution problems due to its emissions.
Fuel prices in Luxembourg
In the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, fuel prices are regulated.
Maximum prices for petroleum products are set through program contracts entered into with companies in the sector.
The GEML Association (Luxembourg Energy and Mobility Group), which is made up of the major oil companies operating in Luxembourg (of which we are, of course, a member), also examines the economic and social implications of all forms of energy for mobility.
