Mexico City Fuel Prices: Stability with Slight Premium

The gasoline sector in Mexico continues to show significant regional variations, with Mexico City remaining slightly above the national average for some fuels. According to the latest data updated this Sunday by PETROIntelligence, the average prices in the country's capital are as follows:

• Regular Gasoline: $23.805 per liter • Premium Gasoline: $28.439 per liter • Diesel: $28.290 per liter

This data is obtained from 373 of 403 monitored stations in the city, which provides a fairly representative picture of the local market.

Comparison with the National Average Nationally reported average prices show a slight difference compared to CDMX:

• Regular: $23.702 per liter • Premium: $28.316 per liter • Diesel: $28.673 per liter

In this context, the capital stands out for having: • Regular and premium gasoline slightly more expensive than the national average. • A cheaper diesel compared to the national average.

Comparison with Other States When comparing with other key entities, more marked differences are observed:

Jalisco • Regular: $24.010 • Premium: $29.157 • Diesel: $28.953

Nuevo León • Regular: $24.009 • Premium: $29.348 • Diesel: $28.370

In both cases, the prices for regular and premium gasoline exceed those of CDMX, positioning the capital as an intermediate-cost zone within the country.

However, diesel in Jalisco is more expensive than in Mexico City.

Vehicle Natural Gas: a cheaper alternative In contrast to traditional fuels, Vehicle Natural Gas (GNV) remains a considerably more economical option:

• Minimum price: $10.990 per liter • Average: $12.601 per liter • Maximum: $14.490 per liter

This represents practically half the cost of regular gasoline, making it an attractive alternative for public transport and fleets.

The behavior of prices reflects that Mexico City remains stable, not the most expensive in the country, but with gasoline prices slightly above the national average.
