Is the price of fuel gone crazy or are we just being rip off .
We topped up in March in Lefkas at 1.09 lts at Pilos two weeks later we notice diesel was 1.23 lts in Ghalatas 1.35 in one garage 1 .28 in another , on Kea its 1.29 lts what's going on .is fuel just shooting up , or are there just charging what they like ? By the way these are garage forecourt prices .

Petrol is €1.59 here, not sure about diesel because I haven't filled the boat up lately. I think a lot has to do with distribution costs and what the market will stand. Some petrol stations on the main roads here, but in relatively isolated places, are still charging €1.65 for petrol......

Shoreside will obviously be dearer, and in the Islands probably more variable, but the various web sites showing current (roadside) fuel prices for European countries range between €1.21 to 1.26 for Greek diesel and €1.51 to 1.56 for petrol. Typical prices have evidently risen by a cent or two in the last month.
I'll know more in a month or so, but I imagine Vic will, too.

Probably depends if the fuel is legal or black market :) and also whether you can pay by card or only in cash. The new government is trying to tighten up a lot on black market fuel to be sure of getting the tax revenue.
