Download RifuelWhy prices vary from region to region
Excise duties are identical across Italy: what shifts the price between regions is mostly local competition, logistics costs (distance from depots, islands and inland areas) and network density. Where stations are denser, operators keep prices lower.
The gaps stay small — a few cents between the cheapest and the most expensive region — and matter far less than the difference between one station and another in the same city. So the ranking sets the context, while the real saving comes from picking the right pump near you.
