Fuel - Petrol - Diesel, Cost and Availability.

Petrol stations in Cyprus are fairly modern and common in the towns. Most have attendants to fill your tank for you, although you will find some that are self service.

Many major stations also have shops where you can buy auto accessories and food.

Mountain driving uses more fuel than you might think So if you plan a trip to the mountains be sure you have enough fuel to get you there and back.

Most petrol stations are closed on Tuesday and Sunday. This is not usually a problem though, as many have machines that accept bank notes, major credit and debit cards and therefore operate 24 hours. Most cash machines have instructions in Greek and English.

Hire cars usually operate the system of handing the vehicle over to you with an empty fuel tank, so you return it empty. This can lead to problems if you are not careful. This practice is slowly changing to the system of returning the vehicle with the tank full.

Petrol is unleaded and 95 and 98 octane fuel is available. So check what octane your vehicle requires. There are other more expensive fuels but you are unlikely to need them.

Diesel is of the cleaner Eurodiesel type.

Fuel prices per litre (from Mid Oct 2008).
Petrol
95+ octane around €96.9
98+ octane around €1.03

Diesel - around €94.4
