Fill up in France or in Spain? Latest reported prices at Le Perthus – La Jonquera

Right now, fill up in Spain This is the median of the stations that reported a Diesel price within 30 km of the Le Perthus – La Jonquera crossing, on each side. Individual stations differ: the cheapest ones on both sides are listed above.

At the current difference of €0.430/L per litre, a 50 L tank costs about €21.50 less on the cheaper side (Spain). That is the difference between the two medians; picking the cheapest station on the cheap side rather than the median saves more, and a station right at the border often costs more than one a few kilometres inland.

The official figure is a national average for a whole country, published once a week by the European Commission. This page shows what individual stations within 30 km of one crossing reported, minutes or hours ago. A border region is not the national average: motorway and border stations price differently from the interior, and the two sides of a crossing are two different national markets.

Median freshness: reported 2 days ago · France. Median freshness: reported 22 min ago · Spain. Each station row carries its own timestamp, and the page recalculates every 15 minutes. Where a market does not attach a clock to each price, we say so and show the age of the ingestion cycle instead — we never present a cycle time as if it were the station's own.

All of them are within 30 km of Le Perthus – La Jonquera in a straight line, and each row shows its own distance. 30 km is the radius we use for border pages: closer in, several of these crossings simply do not have enough stations reporting a price for the comparison to be honest.
