Fuel and Gas Stations in Georgia — What Tourists Should Know
Fuel prices in Georgia aren’t exactly low — that’s a fact. But don’t worry: compared to Europe, the prices are reasonable, though roughly 20% higher than in Russia. The real advantage is the freedom and convenience of driving — especially if you're renting a car.
Fuel Prices in Georgia (Summer 2024)
Only unleaded fuel is available at Georgian gas stations:
- 92 (Euro Regular): 2.65 GEL (~$1.02)
- 95 (Premium): 2.90 GEL (~$1.11)
- 98 (Super): 3.59 GEL (~$1.38)
- Diesel: 3.00 GEL (~$1.15)
- LPG: 1.80 GEL (~$0.69)
Most stations are open 24/7 with no days off. Fuel is paid in Georgian lari — exchange your money in advance.
Heading to the mountains? Expect up to 50% higher fuel consumption due to constant climbs and descents.
About Gas (LPG & CNG)
Methane (CNG) is widely available, except in remote mountain areas like Tusheti, Svaneti, Racha, and parts of the Georgian Military Road — use gasoline there.
Propane (LPG) is rare — don’t rely on it unless you're lucky.
Where to Refuel
Stick to major fuel networks:
- Lukoil, Gulf, Socar, Wissol, Rompetrol — these have reliable fuel quality.
- Avoid small local stations unless recommended by locals, taxi drivers, or truckers.
Gas stations have attendants — no need to leave your car. You can pay in cash or by card.
Driving Tips for Georgia
- Mountain roads are steep and narrow — drive cautiously.
- Watch for animals — sheep run, cows stand still. Be patient.
- At high altitudes (above 2500 m), your engine might lose power — switch to manual.
- Use engine braking on long descents to avoid overheating your brakes.
