About Mexico Gasoline Prices
Magna vs Premium
Mexico sells two main grades of gasoline: Magna (87 octane, the regular grade used by most passenger vehicles) and Premium (91+ octane, for higher-performance engines). Both are sold at fixed national maximum prices set by the government through IEPS tax adjustments.
Government Price Controls
Unlike most countries where pump prices float freely, Mexico historically controlled retail gasoline prices through Pemex (the state oil company). Since price liberalization, prices vary more by region, but the federal government still applies IEPS (excise tax) adjustments to moderate price volatility and manage subsidy exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Mexico gas prices the same everywhere?
No. While Mexico previously had fully fixed national prices, since fuel price liberalization prices vary by region and retailer. However, the federal government continues to influence prices through IEPS tax adjustments. Border areas near the US sometimes see different pricing dynamics due to competition with US fuel prices.
What is the difference between Magna and Premium in Mexico?
Magna is Mexico's regular gasoline (87 octane) recommended for most standard passenger vehicles. Premium is higher-octane (91+) gasoline designed for high-compression or turbocharged engines. Premium costs roughly 10-15% more than Magna per litre.
