In Andorra, a small landlocked country nestled in the Pyrenees mountains between France and Spain, the price of diesel fuel is currently 1.66 euros per liter, and for SP 95 gasoline, it’s 1.63 euros per liter. These prices are significantly lower than those in neighboring France, where fuel costs are typically higher. As a result, many French drivers are making the trip across the border to fill up their vehicles, especially near the Pas de la Case, a high-altitude pass that connects the two countries. This pass, known as the Port of Envalira, sits at 2,408 meters above sea level and has become a popular stop for drivers seeking cheaper fuel. French drivers from regions such as the Pyrénées-Orientales, including Gérard and Nicole, travel to Andorra to save money on fuel, with savings ranging between 30 to 40 euros per full tank. Local station attendants report that the majority of customers are French, coming from cities like Toulouse, Montauban, Perpignan, and the Ariège region. Some, like Marcelle from Ariège, have even stopped buying fuel in France altogether, except for necessary trips. She fills up in Andorra only once a month. Others, like Daniel, who lives 50 kilometers from the Pas de la Case, save even more by purchasing fuel in Andorra, and he also brings back fuel in jerricans, as long as he doesn’t exceed the legal limit. For some, the savings are worth the long drive. Jean-Luc, a driver from Toulouse, travels over 250 kilometers to fill up in Andorra, not only for fuel but also to buy alcohol and cigarettes, which are also cheaper there. However, not all French drivers are convinced of the benefits. Some remain cautious about the quality of fuel in Andorra, and Alain from Ariège prefers to stick to stations he trusts, even if it means paying a bit more. The lower fuel prices in Andorra are not entirely accidental. Since September, the price of diesel has dropped by 15 cents per liter. Of this reduction, 10 cents came from lower taxes paid by fuel importers and distributors, and the remaining 5 cents came from their reduced profit margins. The move was announced by Andorra’s Minister of Finance, Ramon Llados, as a strategy to attract more French drivers and boost economic activity in the region.
