Diesel in Cyprus reaches record €2.126 per litre in Limassol
A Limassol filling station is selling diesel at an all-time high of €2.126 per litre, while the cheapest on the island costs €1.939 in Pyrga, according to the consumer protection service's price observatory.
Diesel has climbed to its highest recorded price in Cyprus, with one Limassol outlet charging €2.126 per litre on Wednesday, as reported by Cyprus Mail citing the consumer protection service's price observatory. The station sits off the city's coastal road, close to the Kean factory and The Oval.
On the other end of the scale, the lowest diesel price in the Republic is €1.939 per litre, offered at a station in the Larnaca district village of Pyrga, while the average stands at €2.024. For 95-octane petrol, the priciest litre on the island is €1.819 in Timi, Paphos district, and the cheapest is €1.669, also in Pyrga.
What it means for residents
Fuel costs feed straight into the household budget on an island where most journeys depend on a car, and the gap between the cheapest and dearest stations is now wide enough to matter for anyone filling up regularly.
- Check before you drive. Prices vary by around 19 cents a litre between outlets, so comparing the observatory's figures can save several euros per tank.
- Plan longer trips. If you commute between districts, refuelling where diesel is cheapest — such as Pyrga — may be worth the detour.
- Watch delivery costs. Persistently high diesel tends to push up prices for goods moved by road, which can show up in shops over the coming weeks.
