Across the Canary Islands as a whole, the price fell by just 2.4 cents. The average price for premium petrol thus dropped from 1.541 to 1.517 euros per litre. Diesel fell less sharply: from 1.707 to 1.691 euros, a drop of 1.6 cents. Lanzarote continued a trend that had already been evident in the previous weekly comparison of fuel prices in the Canary Islands. Back then, too, petrol had fallen most sharply there.

When it comes to fuel prices in the Canary Islands, the cheapest individual petrol stations are now on Lanzarote, for both diesel and petrol. However, at the island average, motorists can still fill up more cheaply elsewhere. Two other islands share the top spot, depending on the type of fuel.

Canary Islands: Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria offer the best prices on the islands

Fuerteventura is the cheapest island for diesel, whilst Gran Canaria is the cheapest for Super 95. La Gomera is the most expensive for both types of fuel. The following overview ranks all seven islands according to the average price of diesel:

Fuel prices in the Canary Islands: La Gomera has been the most expensive since August

On four of the seven islands, both types of fuel cost more than the Canary Islands average. Once again, La Gomera tops the list, having already been the most expensive Canary Islands island for fuel back in early August.

The rankings for individual petrol stations have shifted since late summer. At the end of August, the cheapest station for both fuels was still on Gran Canaria. By the end of September, the cheapest diesel pump in the Canary Islands was already on Lanzarote, and this is now also the case for petrol.
