About Mexico Diesel Prices
Diesel Use in Mexico
Diesel fuel in Mexico (called Diésel or Diesel Automotriz) is widely used by trucks, buses, construction equipment, and agricultural machinery. Mexico is a major trucking corridor, particularly along the US border where NAFTA/USMCA trade drives heavy freight demand.
Pemex and Pricing
Historically, Pemex (the state oil company) held a monopoly on fuel retail. Since the 2013 energy reform and subsequent liberalization, private companies including international chains can sell fuel. Prices are set by the market but the federal government uses IEPS excise tax adjustments as a price stabilizer, particularly during oil price volatility.
