PETROL in mainland Spain is at its cheapest in the Pyrénéen province of Huesca and most expensive in Roquetas de Mar (Almería province), according to a countrywide study by a leading press agency.
The lowest prices can be found in the Balearics and the Canaries, since the islands have a different fuel tax régime from the mainland, as do the Spanish-owned city-provinces of Ceuta and Melilla on the northern Moroccan coast.
For 95 unleaded, the most commonly-used type of petrol, filling up in Santa Úrsula in Tenerife at the Shell station on the main north road at kilometre 31 costs just 92.9 cents a litre, whilst on the same road at kilometre 27 in La Victoria de Acentejo, another Shell station sells 95 unleaded for 93 cents a litre.
In the Canary Islands, the most expensive petrol is found at the Marina Rubicon-DISA petrol station on C/ El Berrugo in Yaiza, at 1.109 euros a litre.
Once on the mainland, 95 unleaded can be found at 1.184 euros a litre in Binéfar, Fraga and Monzón (Huesca province) and at 1.186 euros a litre in Bujaraloz and Graus (Zaragoza province) at the Bonárea petrol stations.
No one province is cheaper than another across the board, however, since parts of Navarra and La Rioja are cheaper than other places in Huesca, and the Santa María Águila Co-op on the Camino de Roquetas in El Ejido (Almería province) sells unleaded 95 at 1.224 euros a litre, whilst just down the road in Roquetas de Mar, the most expensive petrol in the country is found at kilometre 285 of the La Mojonera road, costing 1.535 euros a litre.
