Significant Fuel Price Disparities Reported Across Santa Cruz de Tenerife Province
Significant disparities in fuel prices across the Canary Islands, driven by logistics and geography, highlight the importance for drivers to compare local station rates to minimize costs.
The wide gap in fuel prices across the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife serves as a reminder of how important it is to plan your fuel stops. Data released by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism on Saturday, September 12, shows significant price differences not just between islands, but even between neighboring towns—a reality that directly affects the wallets of local drivers.
On Tenerife, the El Mayorazgo industrial area in Santa Cruz is currently the most affordable place to refuel. The TGAS-TU TRÉBOL station offers the lowest rates on the island, with 95-octane gasoline at €1.340, 98-octane at €1.450, and diesel A at €1.469 per liter. Nearby, CANARY OIL, S.L. on Calle Subida al Mayorazgo is also competitive, charging €1.358 for 95-octane and €1.458 for 98-octane. In San Cristóbal de La Laguna, the PCAN station on Avenida Los Menceyes lists 95-octane at €1.388 and 98-octane at €1.498, while diesel is available for €1.499 at both the OCÉANO TACO station and the OCÉANO station on the TF-111. In the south, the TGAS-TU TRÉBOL in La Caleta (Adeje) matches the €1.469 diesel price, while GMOIL in Adeje offers diesel at €1.499.
Fuel prices on the smaller islands are generally higher, largely due to the costs of logistics and island geography. On La Palma, the PLENERGY station in the Mirca industrial area is the most budget-friendly, with 95-octane gasoline at €1.545 and diesel A at €1.669. For 98-octane, the best price is found in Fuencaliente at the PCAN station (€1.708), followed by the DISA station on Avenida los Indianos in Santa Cruz de la Palma (€1.714).
On El Hierro, the DEL VALLE COMBUSTIBLES station in Frontera is the cheapest, charging €1.609 for 95-octane and €1.749 for diesel A. Prices for 98-octane are the same in both Valverde and Frontera, costing €1.889 at the local DISA stations. Finally, on La Gomera, the OCÉANO station in Playa Santiago (Alajeró) offers the best value, with 95-octane at €1.699, 98-octane at €1.869, and diesel at €1.829. Prices in San Sebastián de la Gomera are slightly higher, with 95-octane at €1.709, 98-octane at €1.879, and diesel A at €1.839.
These figures, which are available through official government channels, highlight why it pays to shop around. Choosing the right service station can lead to real savings on your monthly fuel bill, especially given how logistics and supply costs influence the prices drivers pay at the pump.
