I've just filled up today at 1.09 euros a litre. It was 82 cents a litre for unleaded 95 three years ago. Pro rata it is more expensive here than in Britain

Whats worse is that some of the supermarkets have started giving so much a litre off if you spend more than 60 euros on shopping. Won't be long before rural filling stations start having to put their prices up and then go out of business. Sound familiar?

It used to be one of the many good things about Spain that petrol was the same price wherever you bought it. Not anymore.

Doesn't that equate to about 57 pence three years ago and about 85 pence now?

Might have my sums wrong but I *think* that's right? Can anyone confirm? My local is £1.09 so that's about 1.5 Euros?

Sorry to jump in but just started looking at the forums after joining the other week and this was the first thing I read!

Yep, £1.19 is what I've been paying down here for 97 (Ultimate/V-Power etc)...  :'(

But cheer-up, your 90p per litre taxation is all going for good causes, helping the government to invest more in hospitals and schools...  :D
