Unleaded 95: € 1,39.9
Diesel: € 1,04.9

Unleaded 95: € 1.052
Diesel: € 1.055

Yes, Diesel is more expensive than Unleaded. This is also the case in the UK, US and Switzerland. I don't know why though...

Probably because diesel pollutes more? The usual way of putting lower tax for diesel is just pure idiocy. I understand the professional drivers need a discount from the taxes, but it really should be done some other way than by favouring a worse type of fuel.

You´re not quite right when you say that diesel polutes more
I´m getting a new car this month and I compared the Co2 g/km for the same car with different motors:
1.3 diesel 122-127
1.0 Unleaded 127-132
1.2 Unleaded 139-144

I´m taking the diesel

Unleaded 95: 1,333
Unleaded 98: 1,355
Diesel: 1,078

These are the maximum prices. In my neighbourhood there are a lot of gas stations involved in a price battle, that keeps the price until 13 cent under the maximumprice.
