> Tyrol authorities launch a penal proceeding and request a federal audit after regional diesel prices surged past the national average.

The district administrative authority in **Tyrol** has launched an examination into an administrative penal proceeding against a local gas station operator. This action follows the establishment of a price investigation commission by the state in mid-September.

On Thursday, October 22, 2026, diesel prices in Tyrol reached 2.199 euros, exceeding the national average of 2.154 euros. Premium gasoline in the region was priced at 1.808 euros per liter, while the nationwide average for gasoline sat lower at 1.794 euros.

Governor **Anton Mattle** and Economic Affairs Minister **Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer**, both of the **ÖVP**, are addressing the costs. The state of Tyrol has officially requested that the federal government conduct a special audit through the regulator known as **E-Control**.
