According to sources, fuel prices have increased in recent weeks, making both diesel and gasoline more expensive in Sweden and Norway. This has led Norwegians to cross the border into Värmland for cheaper fuel. " At the gas station visited, gasoline costs about three kronor more than at the nearest gas station in Sweden, highlighting the price difference.
On the Norwegian side, they have noticed that customers are leaving the country for Swedish fuel. Over the weekend, the pressure from Norwegians was so high that diesel almost ran out at one of the gas stations in Charlottenberg, according to the station manager. " The specific war causing the price increase has not been identified, and it is unclear how much cheaper fuel is in Värmland compared to Norway on average.
It is cheaper than in Norway.
The situation underscores the impact of rising fuel costs on cross-border consumer behavior.
Now when it is so expensive because of the war, we notice it.
