Average pump prices
Pump prices and crude oil
Cent per litre, including taxes. Crude is Brent converted to euro per litre.
Does the pump follow crude?
How much of a change in crude reaches the pump price before tax, and how quickly. Rises and falls measured separately.
Share of a crude move passed on
Weeks after crude moves. 100% means the full change in cent per litre reached the pump.
How this is measured
Weekly changes in the pre-tax pump price (EU Oil Bulletin) are regressed on the current and previous 12 weeks of crude price changes, with rises and falls entered separately. Crude is Brent converted to euro per litre and averaged over the week before each bulletin date. The shaded range comes from re-running the model 300 times on resampled data. Taxes are left out because they are mostly fixed per litre and do not follow crude.
The gap above crude covers refining, transport and retail margin together. A rise in refiners' margins shows up here even if retailers' own margin did not change.
What makes up the pump price
Cent per litre. The middle band is refining, distribution and retail margin.
What moved prices
Known events and detected shocks, with the price change in the four weeks after.
