THE CHEAPEST petrol in Cyprus at the moment is to be found in Larnaca and the most expensive is in Limassol while diesel is also cheapest in Larnaca and most expensive in Paphos, according to the Commerce Ministry’s ‘name and shame’ list released yesterday.
In Larnaca petrol 95 costs €0998 while in Limassol it is €1.022. Petrol 98 costs €0.999 in Larnaca and €1.058 in Limassol. Diesel will set you back €0.893 in Larnaca and €0.969 in Paphos.
The Ministry is hoping that by alerting motorists to the cheapest and most expensive stations, motorists can make a conscious effort to avoid the most expensive, thereby inducing those stations to bring their prices down to normal levels.
“The aim is the active involvement of users themselves, to try, as much as possible, to bring about the favourable operation of the market for consumers, by selecting and rewarding the cheaper service operators and excluding the most expensive,” read a statement released by the Ministry. “Consumers can with good consumer behaviour help maintain prices at levels justified,” it added.
