Petrol prices can be up to 12 cents a litre more expensive then anywhere else in the Malaga area

A study carried out for SUR shows that filling up with petrol in Mar- bella is more expensive than in Malaga city or elsewhere along the coast. According to the official fig- ures, the average price for diesel is 1.163 euros per litre in Marbella, 1.147 in Malaga and 1.146 in Seville. Lola García, president of Facua Malaga, suggests there could be price agreements between petrol stations in the town, something which would be illegal. P3
