Petrol falls 11 cents in a month in the Almanzora Valley, and diesel only 3

A litre of 95 petrol cost an average of €1.712 on Monday 2 November at filling stations in the Almanzora Valley, 11.2 cents less than a month earlier. Diesel barely moved: €1.834, 3.2 cents less, according to the prices reported to the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and analysed station by station by elValle Actualidad.

• €1.712 is the average cost of a litre of 95 petrol at the 21 filling stations in the Valley that sell it
• −6.2% is how much 95 petrol has fallen in a month: 11.2 cents less per litre than on 3 October
• €1.834 is the cost of a litre of diesel, 12.2 cents more than a litre of 95 petrol
• +39.7% is how much diesel has risen in a year: 52.1 cents more per litre than on 2 November 2025

The Valley remains below the average. Diesel costs €1.887 across the province of Almería as a whole, €1.909 in Andalusia and €1.897 in Spain, and 95 petrol €1.718, €1.732 and €1.724. Compared with the Spanish average, a litre of diesel in the Valley is 6.3 cents cheaper: €3.14 less when filling a 50-litre tank. For 95 petrol, the difference is 1.2 cents.

Petrol falls more than diesel

In a year, diesel has risen by 52.1 cents per litre in the Valley (39.7%) and 95 petrol by 31.9 cents (22.9%). Both rose sharply in March and again from July: on 1 October, diesel cost €1.871 and 95 petrol €1.848.

Diesel, which a year earlier cost 8 cents less than 95 petrol (€1.313 compared with €1.393), cost 12.2 cents more on 2 November. A month earlier, on 3 October, the difference was 4.2 cents (€1.866 compared with €1.824).

The fall is being felt across Spain. In its flash estimate of the October CPI, published on the 30th, the INE, Spain’s National Statistics Institute, highlights the downward influence of fuels and lubricants for personal vehicles, “whose prices fall more than in October 2025”. Inflation remains at 4.9%.

Since 1 October, the hydrocarbon tax cut has been 20 cents per litre on diesel and on petrol. In September it was 20 cents on diesel and only 5 on petrol, according to Royal Decree-Law 25/2026, which extended the cuts in the plan to respond to the crisis in the Middle East until the end of the year.

In November, the 20 cents remains in place on both fuels, according to the Spanish Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria). The decree provided for the cut to be lowered to 13 cents this month and to 6 in December, but kept it at 20 and 13 if the September CPI for petrol or diesel was more than 15% higher than a year earlier. In December it will remain at 20 cents if the same happens with the October CPI.
