High gasoline prices in Greece

Soaring fuel prices in Greece have put the country in the unenviable position of being among the six most expensive in the world for unleaded gasoline, and are set to have multiple consequences on the entire production chain. The latest tax assault on fuel consumption has also placed it among the 15 most expensive countries in the world when it comes to diesel.

In fact, since last week, Greek islanders have found themselves in an even worse position, as a liter of unleaded gasoline costs them up to 1.93 euros, a rate that you won’t even see at the pumps in the world’s most expensive country, Hong Kong.

Ta, Rog. Looks like prices are rising again, this site might again be useful to keep an eye on the best prices locally:

www.fuelprices.gr

Click on Kef, select locality then click on button bottom centre (Επόμενο), click Επόμενο again then select fuel type, then Επόμενο again: in Eleios-Pronnoi prices currently seem to range between 1.575 at Valeriano to 1.645 at Agia Eirini.

And the price you see isn't always the price you pay...

Drivers across Greece being cheated at the gas pump

A December survey by the National Technical University of Athens conducted in Thessaloniki, Patra and Volos showed that one in nine gas stations (11 percent) pumped up to 10 percent less fuel into their customers’ vehicles than what they paid for.
