Fuel prices in Gibraltar remain lower
SPAIN As usual, the summer holidays bring with it an increase in prices at the pump. Petrol is up to €1.45/litre, and diesel, €1.36, according to the EC's Oil Bulletin. This has been so since the beginning of July - yes, the beginning of the holidays in Spain (and many other countries in Europe), when some 80 million vehicles are expected to begin their annual peregrination, plus a larger influx of tourists is expected. Fuel prices have gone up by 2.3% since July 1, and by 3.4% for the same week last year, despite the fact that Brent oil prices are showing signs of stabilisation. Prices in the rest of Europe>>>
remain about the same, though.

Nevertheless, prices in Spain are still below the European average, which puts petrol at €1.585/litre, and at €1.627 in the EuroZone. Diesel fuel averages out at €1.44/litre and at €1.431 in the EuroZone.
The reason for the cheaper price on Spain is that although VAT went up to 21% last year and there are additional regional taxes as well as those on biodiesel fuel, there is 'less fiscal pressure' on petrol.
