Transport & Environment, citing European Commission data, says diesel prices have risen about 40% year-to-date in Europe — a 50‑litre tank now costs roughly €30 more per fill. Gasoline is up roughly 28%.

Diesel represents over 40% of oil consumption in European economies — about double the US share — leaving Europe more exposed to diesel price moves.
