    Greek Fuel Prices Defy Global Drop

    In this episode of Greek News in English, Giannis and Zoi dig into a report by The Press Project dated September 17, 2026, revealing that fuel prices in Greece remain stubbornly high despite a dip in international oil markets. Unleaded petrol sits at €2.17 per litre, diesel reaches €2.20 even with a 15-cent subsidy, and heating oil is projected to nearly double compared to last year. The hosts explore the reasons behind the disconnect, the global factors at play — from Brent crude movements to Houthi drone strikes — and what the upcoming Eurogroup discussions may mean for European households facing a costly winter.
