Penny Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I needed gas (actually diesel) so I decided to pay attention to all the gas station prices between Boquete and Price Smart. There's a couple of stations I usually buy gas at because in my experience they are cheaper. I was surprised on this trip to discover that the cheapest station for diesel is the new Terpel station in Los Algorrobos. And, the bonus is that they will pump the gas for you even though you've pulled into the Autoservicio pump. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Woolford Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Fuel prices are set dependent on distance from the Terminal in Panama City to the point of sale. They are monitored by Acodeco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Woolford Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 The only way to really check would be to compare pump prices at various locations on the exact same day as they change every other Friday. Also.. I’m not sure if there’s a discount for self service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnF13 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I think self serve is maybe 1/2 cent/litre cheaper. I usually compare the price at the Terpel in Dolega and the one on the Interamerican going towards Pricesmart. Sometimes a cent or a bit more cheaper in David. The Delta station in Dolega is always a bit more than the Terpel, but they pump your fuel there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
