The announcement is coming out shortly from the Minister of Transport Thomas Danielsen and Minister of Business and Industry Morten Bødskov.

Time to kick this website into a higher gear so it’s ready to consume official retail fuel reporting prices.

The government will strengthen competition in the gasoline and diesel market by increasing price transparency.

Increased competition must be strengthened through two specific initiatives:

  • Requirement that petrol companies publish current consumer prices – pump prices – online

  • Fuel companies are prohibited from publishing recommended prices in advance of price changes.

In relation to the first point, car owners will be able to find their way to cheap gasoline more easily before they get in the car.
