Before filling up your car, check the prices of gasoline and diesel in Mexico this March 17. Remember that the cost of gasoline varies daily, so it's important to keep up to date on its value.
Regular gasoline Average price per liter: 21,301 pesos
Premium gasoline Average price per liter: 23,263 pesos
Diesel Average price per liter: 22,766 pesos
Prices reported by permit holders online in accordance with the obligation established in the Agreement No. A/041/2018 of the Energy Regulatory Commission.
The price of gasoline can vary in Mexico due to a variety of factors such as reference costs, taxes and logistics.
The reference cost is based on international oil prices, since oil is quoted in dollars globally, so the average value of gasoline is modified with respect to the exchange rate of the dollar and the peso.
In Mexico, a tax is also paid for fuel consumed, called the Federal Excise Tax on Production and Services (IEPS), which is determined by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) and affects the price of gasoline.
Costs may also change for logistical reasons, i.e. transport and storage, if fuel prices rise when transporting oil and refined gasoline in pipes or by ship, costs will increase.
Other factors that influence fuel prices are given by geographical location.
