Service stations in the Community of Madrid show notable differences in fuel prices, which can lead to considerable savings for drivers. This Thursday, rates have been updated at several service stations.

Fuel prices in the Community of Madrid have experienced significant changes this week, forcing drivers to stay alert to variations in order to maximise their savings when refuelling. According to official data from the Ministry for Ecological Transition, the differences between service stations are notable for both petrol and diesel, and can considerably impact the monthly budget of those who use their car daily.

In Alcalá de Henares, for example, 95 E5 petrol can be found at 1.399 €/l at various service stations like LAVAPLUS and ALCAMPO. In contrast, the highest price for 98 E5 petrol reaches up to 1.669 €/l at BP RIO CORVO 365. For those opting for diesel A, SUPECO and ALCAMPO also offer competitive prices at 1.409 €/l. This data highlights the importance of comparing prices before filling up the tank.

In Alcobendas, prices are slightly higher; 95 E5 petrol is available from 1.419 €/l, while diesel A is at 1.449 €/l. The trend continues with similar variations in other locations such as Alcorcón and Aranjuez. In Alcorcón, for instance, LAVAPLUS offers 95 E5 petrol for just 1.359 €/l, an attractive option for those looking to save.

As we move towards Getafe and Leganés, prices remain competitive. In Getafe, 95 E5 petrol is reported from 1.439 €/l, while Leganés maintains similar rates with options around 1.439 €/l. This situation serves as a constant reminder of how small differences can accumulate significantly over a month.

Apart from these main municipalities, other areas like Móstoles and Pinto also present their own offers. Móstoles has 95 E5 petrol from 1.419 €/l, while Pinto shows competitive prices with options starting from 1.429 €/l. These figures indicate clear competition among local service stations to attract customers.

However, not all stations offer such attractive rates. For example, some service stations located near highways or commercial areas tend to have higher prices due to constant traffic. Therefore,

‘it is crucial to plan where to refuel before heading out’, warns an industry expert.

As summer progresses and the demand for road trips in and out of Madrid increases,knowing where the cheapest service stations are can translate not only into economic savings but also into a more enjoyable driving experience.
