Answer

Is it worth driving a little further to refuel in Mallorca?

Often, yes — but only if the detour is small. In Mallorca, price differences of several cents per litre can add up, especially on regular routes such as between Palma, Inca or the airport area. If the cheaper station is only a short deviation from your route, the saving can be worthwhile.
