Transparency Tools Expose Wide Fuel Price Gaps Driving Savings in Spain and Mexico

Facua’s online comparison portal, backed by official geoportal data, highlights intra-provincial disparities of up to €0.79 per litre that translate into significant consumer savings.

Overview

  • Facua’s analysis of over 10,000 stations finds price gaps within the same province reaching €0.79 per litre, equivalent to nearly €40 saved on a 50-litre fill.
  • A Murcia driver filling a 50-litre tank twice monthly at the cheapest outlets could cut fuel costs by up to €948 annually, the study estimates.
  • The Ministry’s geoportalgasolineras confirms that Plenergy in Arinaga, Gran Canaria, is selling diesel at €0.94 per litre, the lowest recorded in its database.
  • Spain’s average pump prices have eased to around €1.48 per litre for gasoline and €1.42 for diesel in early August, remaining below EU and eurozone averages.
  • In Mexico, a voluntary pact to cap regular Magna gasoline under 24 pesos per litre is 92% compliant and has driven the national average down by 1.31 pesos to 23.51 pesos per litre.
