The Cyprus Consumer’s Association has brought to light significant variations in petrol prices throughout the island, with some disparities exceeding 14 cents per litre, according to a recent report.

Analysis conducted by the association spanning from 2021 to 2024 unveiled the most significant contrast in Nicosia on June 6, with a discrepancy of 14 cents between the highest and lowest prices observed.

During the year 2022, Limassol showcased the widest difference in price, with a staggering 15.3 cents per litre variance between the highest and lowest rates.

Highlighting that suppliers typically operate with an average profit margin of 6 to 6.5 cents per litre, the consumer advocacy group emphasized that in a competitive market, such substantial inconsistencies in pricing should not exist.
