Many Greeks, but also Serbs and Romanians living near the Bulgarian border, fill up with fuel 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, a BNT check found.

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.

"In Bulgaria at the moment, the price of diesel, which 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 many of my colleagues and relatives from the central parts of Greece and even Athens come to fill up in Bulgaria because it is cheaper. There is no state aid for fuel here, and wages are not rising. In my opinion, Bulgaria currently has the cheapest fuel in the Balkans, and maybe all over Europe," Christonias Maximas told BNT.

In Romania, the prices of mass fuels are not much different from those in Bulgaria

.

The price of the most used A-95 gasoline at gas stations is almost identical to that in our country.

However, with diesel, the price is higher by about 10 cents per liter.

And with propane-butane, the difference is even greater - 40 cents per liter.

That is why some Romanians prefer to refuel their cars in Bulgaria.

The situation is similar in Serbia.

The prices of the most popular fuels are about 15 to 40 cents higher than those in Bulgaria.

Thus, on average, A-95 gasoline costs about 170 dinars or a little over BGN 2.80. Diesel is about 195 dinars per liter or nearly BGN 3.30, and propane-butane is traded for 110 dinars or over BGN 1.80. This is about 60 cents more expensive compared to the price in Bulgaria.

However, there are not many people who travel to our country to refuel, but Serbs working in our country do not fail to refuel their cars at lower prices in Bulgaria
