Fuel Prices Set to Soar in Sweden—No Matter Who Wins the Election

Swedish drivers should prepare for significantly higher petrol and diesel prices after the next election, regardless of which party forms the next government. That is the warning from several experts interviewed by Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter. “Sweden having among the lowest fuel prices in the EU is not sustainable,” says Svante Mandell, the government’s climate investigator. Experts say the current price levels are artificially low and will need to rise to meet climate goals and EU requirements. The exact size of the increase is not specified, but the direction is clear: cheaper fuel days are numbered.
