Gasoline cost
In Cyprus the prices at different gas stations practically do not differ. At Agip filling stations, as a rule, fuel is a little more expensive than, for example, at Petrolina filling stations, but the difference in the cost of a liter of gasoline is insignificant and is usually no more than 10-15 cents. The same can be said for the differences in fuel prices across the island's regions - there is a difference, but very small.

It is easy to find the coordinates of gas stations, for example, on Google maps, in order to choose the closest one to you.

While the car is refueling, the petrol station employee can wash the windshield on your car, which is certainly very nice. In this case, it is customary to leave a tip to the petrol station. Usually this is a coin of the order of 50 cents or 1 euro.
