Fuel Price Drop in Luxembourg: Will Prices Fall More?
Fuel prices in Luxembourg have dropped in the past few days. The official maximum price on 4 November 2026 is €1.678 a litre for Euro 95, €1.835 for Super 98 and €2.039 for diesel. Oil fell sharply this week, and pump prices have started to follow. Whether they fall further depends mostly on what happens next with oil.

Key takeaways
- Prices now (4 November): Euro 95 €1.678, Super 98 €1.835, diesel €2.039 a litre.
- Since 31 October: Euro 95 is down 8.1 cents, Super 98 down 6.4 cents and diesel down 7.1 cents (my calculation from the official prices).
- Why: Brent crude fell to about $95 a barrel, from $113.43 on 30 October, on hopes of de-escalation in the Iran conflict.
- Can we expect more? Possibly, if oil stays low. But the situation is unstable, and oil can rise as fast as it fell.

Why did fuel prices drop? Oil fell
Pump prices follow crude oil, plus taxes and margins. Brent crude, the main European benchmark, was $113.43 on 30 October, according to Trading Economics. On 4 November it was about $95, down roughly 16% by my calculation. The National reported on the same day that Brent had fallen 8.47% to $94.83, its lowest level in nearly two months, and that Brent and US WTI had both fallen more than 15% over the week.
Markets cited several reasons:
- Hopes of de-escalation: investors are weighing the chance of lower US involvement in the Iran conflict after the US midterm elections, according to The National.
- Talks: negotiations resumed with Qatar and Pakistan as mediators, but The National reports no clear next steps and Trading Economics says an agreement is far off.
- Supply: Trading Economics reports that renewed Gulf exports pushed Middle Eastern oil availability above near-term demand for the first time since July.
Can we expect more price drops?
Here is the evidence on both sides, as of 4 November.
What points to lower prices
- Oil is well below its late-October high. Pump prices have already started to follow, with falls of 7 to 8 cents within days.
- The EIA’s October forecast, published on 6 October, expected Brent to average $105 in the fourth quarter and $84 in 2027. Brent is already below that fourth-quarter average, and the EIA expected oil flows from the Middle East to recover gradually.
- One analyst quoted by The National, Aliasgar Tambawala of Klay Group, said oil could stabilise if expectations of reduced US military involvement in Iran grow.
What points to higher prices
- The situation is unstable. The US confirmed limited strikes on Qeshm island on 2 November, according to The National, and Iranian officials warned that those expecting a policy shift were mistaken.
- Oil rose to a four-year high of $116.72 on 23 October, according to Trading Economics, so the market has moved sharply in both directions within two weeks.
- Trading Economics notes that US crude inventories fell for a fifth week in a row, which offers some support to prices.
In my reading, if Brent stays around $95 or lower, further small drops at the pump are plausible. If talks stall or fighting escalates, oil could jump back and pump prices would likely follow, as they did last week. I did not confirm how often or by what formula Luxembourg adjusts the maximum prices, so I cannot say how quickly a move in oil reaches the pump.
My own take: a drop of 7 or 8 cents is welcome, but it is not a trend yet. I would treat it as relief, not as a forecast, and I would check the official price before a long drive rather than assume it keeps falling.
