Fill up in France or in Italy? Latest reported prices at Menton – Ventimiglia

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

At the current difference of €0.016/L per litre, a 50 L tank costs about €0.80 less on the cheaper side (France). 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.
