Bulgaria has the Cheapest Fuel on the Balkans

Many Greeks, but also Serbs and Romanians living near the Bulgarian border, refuel in Bulgaria, as it is cheaper here. The price of the most common fuels in the neighboring countries is more expensive by between 10 cents and over 1 BGN per liter.

The most popular gasoline - A-95 in Bulgaria is BGN 1 cheaper than in Greece. In Serres, for example, the Greeks charged between 1.80 and 2.00 euros per liter, or about 3.50 to 3.90 BGN. For comparison, in Bulgaria the price of this class of gasoline is between BGN 2.50 and BGN 2.70 per liter. Diesel is also cheaper here. However, the difference there is about 0.60 cents. For a liter of diesel in our southern neighbor, they pay an average of 1.80 euros per liter, or about BGN 3.50, while in our country we pay an average of about BGN 2.95 per liter. Due to the large outflow of local people from the Greek gas stations near the Bulgarian border, many of the small companies go bankrupt due to lack of customers.

Christonias Maximas: "In Bulgaria, at the moment the price of the diesel I am interested in is twice as low as in Greece. I also fill large quantities for my trucks and cars and it is much cheaper for me. I would add that a lot of my colleagues and relatives from the central parts of Greece, even Athens, come to fill up in Bulgaria because it is cheaper. There is no state aid for fuel here, and wages are not raised. In my opinion, in Bulgaria, it's the cheapest fuel currently in the Balkans, and maybe all over Europe".

Yorgos - driver from Greece: "I fill up often, always a full tank. At least 2-3 times a month I come here".
