Answer

Why is petrol often more expensive in Mallorca than in other places on the island?

Petrol prices in Mallorca are shaped not only by global oil markets, but also by taxes, transport costs, land prices and the pricing strategy of each station. In tourist-heavy areas and around key access roads, convenience often pushes prices up. That is why stations close to Palma or the airport can cost noticeably more than those inland.
