A fourth of all petrol stations just raised prices overnight by the same amount as the reduction in VAT. Yay capitalism.

Normal petrol available at 1.45€ here (north costa blanca) so quite happy.

Around us since the Vat reduction it's been generally 1.48 dearer at Repsol but certainly better than it was which was rising daily. This website is useful and accurate for checking petrol prices just put in country area and type fuel it shows prices within whatever radius you set . This is the web site there is also an app for android.

Nice…I’ve been using the government Geoportal which is a bit clunky but works

The EU have said that the VAT reduction on fuel by Spain is illegal a reduction on fuel duty would be ok but not reducing VAT seemingly. Spain has responded that the current reduction will be in place until June.

Well, they did it before on electricity when the Ukraine war started, and the EU didn't complain.
