As stated by President Claudia Sheinbaum, the Mexican state is making a tremendous effort to stabilize fuel prices, explained Escalante. The official highlighted the work of the Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP), Pemex, and other agencies to prevent certain entrepreneurs from selling fuel at an inflated price. He added that the 'Don't Fill Up Here' campaign signs will be placed across the country in the coming days, returning after last year. 'The message to consumers is very clear: where you see this sign, do not fill up. Nearby, you will surely find a station with fair prices,' assured Ivan Escalante. How to find the price of gasoline at nearby gas stations? Whether you want to check gas prices from home or are on the road looking for the best alternative, Profeco has a virtual map where you can see updated prices. Ivan Escalante invited Mexicans to use this tool, which is useful for comparing prices for regular gasoline and diesel. To use it, follow these steps: go to the Profeco alerts page, search the map for gas stations near your location, click on the station you are interested in and see the prices. If it is black, in some cases the price per liter of fuel will be higher than ideal, and if it has a green checkmark, it means the prices are within the fair range. Today we placed several signs at gas stations that are ripping people off with diesel prices. Maintaining fair prices is an effort between the gas station sector and the Mexican state, here is the information: 'Don't fill up here, they are ripping people off with prices,' is the message on the signs that the Federal Consumer Prosecutor's Office (Profeco) placed at some gas stations with high prices for magna and diesel. Ivan Escalante, head of Profeco, personally oversaw the placement of some of these signs in the State of Mexico, after he accused gas stations, such as a Repsol in Amecameca, of selling diesel for 31.49 pesos per liter. 'The agreement is to get as close as possible to 28 pesos (per liter of diesel). We have been holding meetings with the sector, many working tables.'

The Mexican state is strengthening its control over gasoline and diesel prices. The 'Don't Fill Up Here' campaign is returning to the country to fight inflated gas station prices. Citizens are encouraged to use an interactive map to compare prices.
