Almost all garages sell petrol at the maximum price permitted by the government. This can vary.
As a general rule, Repsol stations are self service; BP stations only allow attendants to fill your tank. Credit cards are universally accepted and tipping is not expected – regardless of what you might read in a guide book.
At self service stations, be advised that some pumps might be marked for permanent pre-payment. This is usually the case for any pump that is located in such a way as to allow an easy escape to someone looking to avoid payment. Also pre-payment is often required at night.
Petrol stations are generally outfitted with window washing supplies and air pumps, as would be expected in any European country. Restrooms are generally well maintained.
