“If gas goes up, everything goes up,” is a popular saying that reflects the importance of fuel prices in everyday life, whether we own a car or not.
While those most interested in gasoline costs are clearly motorists, those behind the wheel dealing with traffic on Mexican streets, whether to get to work or because driving is their job.
Therefore, it’s important to stay informed about fuel prices so that fluctuations don’t catch you off guard.
For this reason, government agencies like the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) and the Federal Consumer Protection Agency (Profeco) constantly publish updated gasoline prices for states and cities. Here are the prices for November 28th in Mexico.
Mexico: Gasoline Price per Liter
Regular gasoline average price per liter: 23.399 pesos.
Premium gasoline average price per liter: 25.892 pesos.
Diesel average price per liter: 26.373 pesos.
Prices reported by online permit holders in accordance with the obligation established in Agreement No. A/041/2018 of the Energy Regulatory Commission.
How gasoline prices change in Mexico
After the elimination of the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE), the National Energy Commission (CNE) became the sole regulatory body for the energy sector in Mexico in March 2025. The objective of this technical body is to regulate, supervise, and impose sanctions on energy-related activities.
The CNE’s mission is to guarantee sovereignty, security, and self-sufficiency in the sector, in accordance with the policy established by the Ministry of Energy (Sener). According to information from the Mexican government, the agency has the following main activities related to hydrocarbons:
Regulating prices and tariffs.
Granting permits to store, transport, and sell gasoline.
Maintaining public and up-to-date oversight of all these activities.
The organization does not operate in isolation; it coordinates with the Ministry of Energy (SENER) to maintain technical and operational autonomy, ensuring that all decisions are based on professional criteria.
The final price of gasoline is determined by production, distribution, and logistics costs, taxes, and the price of hydrocarbons in international markets. Fuels are a crucial component of the economy and a key factor in determining each country’s inflation rate.
At the beginning of 2025, Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum and the business sector signed an agreement to regulate the price of Magna gasoline, setting a maximum of 24 pesos per liter.
