Diesel and petrol prices have been on the rise for eight consecutive weeks, having experienced a 12% increment in this time period.
The average cost of a litre of petrol and diesel in the region is 1.75 and 1.70 euros, respectively.
Unsurprisingly, the Costa del Sol is home to some of the highest prices, as a number of stations across the A-7 highway, between Estepona and Malaga city, have set the litre of petrol at 1.8€ or over.
The most extortionist prices are seen in the municipality of Guaro, at Guadalhorce’s Valley, where the litre of petrol has has hit 1.82 €.
On the other hand, the lowest prices are found in Cañete La Real, in the Guadalteba area, where the litre of petrol is at 1.496 €.
After August inflation, current prices in the province have set up a new record, and they are not expected to experience a decrease in September.
With the current prices, filling up a 60-litre tank with petrol costs 105 € on average and 101 € for diesel, four euros more than a month ago.
