Autogas Price in Austria

Price summary and regulatory framework

The published average LPG price in Austria is around €1.18/l according to station aggregators and market statistics; prices may range from ≈€1.00/l to €1.40/l depending on the supplier (network brands vs independent stations), the station’s location, and the volume sold.

Differences by supplier, station, and city

Large networks tend to offer more stable prices but not always lower; independent stations and locations in border or rural areas may apply discounts or surcharges. In cities such as Vienna, Graz, and Linz, prices are often slightly above the national average due to operating costs and demand.

Historical trend and forecasts

Autogas reached historic lows in 2016 and peaks in 2022–2023; since 2024 there has been relative stabilization with fluctuations linked to crude oil prices and energy taxes. Based on time-series data and official statistics, short-term forecasts suggest moderate volatility rather than abrupt increases, unless there are fiscal changes or international shocks. This conclusion is inferred from patterns observed in 2016–2025.

Outlook and factors that will influence the price

Analysts and market sources estimate that, barring geopolitical shocks, autogas will maintain a price advantage over gasoline in 2026–2027, although the gap could narrow if energy taxes increase or supply costs rise. This outlook depends on oil price dynamics and fiscal decisions.

Incentives, subsidies, and taxation

Recent national policies have prioritized electrification; however, there are regional incentives and support programs for alternative fuels and infrastructure that can benefit conversions or fleets (state programs and regional aid described by European observatories). Direct support for autogas is limited compared with BEVs; it is advisable to consult provincial programs.

Projects, fleets, and policy statements

Local projects to maintain LPG stations and convert fleets are concentrated in regions with industrial logistics and commercial transport; the European Observatory tracks infrastructure and the evolution of alternative fleets in Austria, although the collection of LPG station data has been reduced in recent reports. Regional authorities maintain programs supporting alternative mobility that influence demand for autogas. The federal government and related ministries publish documents and releases on energy and mobility policy that prioritize decarbonization and electrification; official references reflect these priorities, which affects direct support for autogas. For specific statements, consult official releases.

For drivers and fleets: compare prices on local aggregators, consider conversions only if the cost difference and station availability on your route justify the investment, and review regional incentives before deciding. Verifying daily prices via station sources is key to optimizing costs.
