Fuel prices are still hitting Spanish drivers hard after a busy weekend on the roads. Here are the five cheapest places to buy petrol and diesel in Spain today, plus simple tips to make your fuel last longer.

By Energy Igualada in Barcelona has the lowest listed petrol price today, at 1.459€ per litre. Nº 7374 Fuente-Álamo in the Region of Murcia has the cheapest diesel, at 1.499€. Prices vary across Spain, so choosing the right station can make a difference to drivers’ costs.

By Energy Igualada tops the petrol list at 1.459€ per litre, with Oil Prix in Tarragona close behind at 1.465€. Mogueroil Moguer in Huelva lists 1.470€. ES Borja - ES Sobrado de Picato S.L.U. in Cuevas del Almanzora (Almería) is at 1.499€, while Arbequina Arbeca in Lleida rounds out the top five at 1.529€.

Spain's Ministry for the Ecological Transition (MITECO) puts the latest national average for 95-octane petrol at around 1.89 to 1.92 €/l in mid-September 2026. Diesel averaged 1.87 to 1.91 €/l across more than 11,000 stations.

Diesel drivers have their own bargains to choose from. Nº 7374 Fuente-Álamo in the Region of Murcia has the lowest price today, at 1.499€. Coop Juncosa in Lleida is next at 1.596€, followed by Gasolinera Amposta in Tarragona at 1.600€. Moeve Arroceros B.G. in La Puebla del Río (Sevilla) lists 1.620€, and Ballenoil in Girona is at 1.639€.

Price isn’t everything. Driving habits and car maintenance can make a real difference at the pump. Speeding up gradually and braking gently can cut fuel use by 15% to 30% on highways and 10% to 40% in city traffic. Good upkeep also helps: use the right oil, check tyre pressure, change air filters, clean spark plugs and keep the car clean to improve fuel use and lower costs.

Long trips bring extra challenges. Open windows add drag and burn more fuel, while frequent use of air conditioning or heating also reduces efficiency. Keep the windows closed at speed and limit climate control use to help every litre go further.

Official data from the National Statistics Institute (INE) shows diesel prices in Spain rose by 11.5% and petrol by 8% over the previous month. The latest September increase adds to the impressive inflationary pressure on fuel already cited in several industry reports.

Spain’s fuel market is tough, and regional price gaps can affect family budgets. As reported earlier, the car you lead and how you maintain it also affect long-term costs. Today’s prices show that choosing the right station can save money straight away.

For Spanish drivers, smart choices at the pump and on the road are the best way to keep costs down. Prices change daily, and regional differences persist, so keep an eye on fuel prices and lead efficiently.
