As the company explains, the design of the package is important at the same time guarantee price transparency for individual customers and protect the stability of the wholesale marketwhich is crucial for maintaining the country's fuel security. “That's why we evaluate it clearly positively,” Orlen emphasizes. The company also argues that the solution “will be beneficial to all refuellers.”
The company emphasizes that since the beginning of the price turmoil on international markets, it has been trying to mitigate their effects on drivers. One element of this strategy was reducing the retail margin on diesel oil to almost zero.
Orlen also reminds about the ongoing weekend promotion, which is valid until the beginning of May reduces the price of a liter of fuel by up to 35 cents.
The Sejm passed the CPN package
On Friday, the Sejm adopted laws lowering fuel prices, which make up the CPN package. If the solutions are quickly accepted by the Senate and signed by the president, Lower prices may appear at stations as early as next week.
According to the analyzes of e-petrol.pl, in the period March 30 – April 5, 2026 forecast fuel prices would amount to:
- Pb95 (E10): PLN 5.99–6.19/l,
- Pb98: PLN 6.59–6.79/l,
- diesel oil: PLN 7.39–7.60/l,
- autogas: PLN 3.73–3.86/l
The forecasts include the introduction of the CPN package, which includes, among others: excise tax reduction, VAT reduction from 23%. up to 8 percent and establishing maximum retail fuel prices. Prime Minister Donald Tusk estimated that the changes could reduce prices by an average of approx. PLN 1.2 per literand the cost for the budget in the second quarter was estimated at approximately PLN 4.8 billion.
Experts point out that despite the forecast reductions, the situation on the oil market remains unstable – recent fluctuations in Brent prices (from USD 96 to over USD 114 per barrel) result from geopolitical tensions in the Persian Gulf region, which may increase fuel prices again.
