The numbers travellers actually search for, taken from official price lists rather than estimates. Each block carries the date it was last checked, because several of these change on a fixed schedule.

Tips for filling up
- Avoid the first pump on the motorway: according to the government the price cap does not apply to motorway stations, where you often pay more. The next town after the exit is usually cheaper. Government of Croatia
- Choose the standard grade: only Eurosuper 95 and Eurodiesel are capped. Premium grades, usually with Premium, 100, V-Power, G-Power or ECTO in the name, often cost 15 to 60 cents more per litre.
- Below the cap is allowed: some stations sell for less. The Ministry of the Economy's official search shows the price at every station. mzoe-gor.hr
- New caps usually apply from Tuesday. This page always shows today's prices.
