How we calculate it

Methodology and sources

  • Each month's average is the average of the daily average prices, using the prices petrol stations report to the Ministry, which publishes them on its petrol station Geoportal.
  • Each figure is the simple average of the public-sale stations selling that fuel, not weighted by how much each one sells. We drop impossible prices (below 75% or above 135% of that province's median that day), which are usually typing mistakes.
  • Spain is the average of all the country's petrol stations, not of the provinces. 95 petrol is E5 and, if a station doesn't sell it, E10.
  • The ranking runs from cheapest (1) to most expensive, with prices rounded to a tenth of a cent: ties share a position.
  • The averages and comparisons are our own calculations: the Ministry does not review or endorse them.
