The head of the Federal Consumer Prosecutor's Office, Iván Escalante, reported that more than half of the stations sell fuel below 28.28 pesos, while about a third offer it above 28.51 pesos. This dispersion shows significant price differences between stations.

IEPS Subsidies Are Not Reflected in All Consumers

The federal government has emphasized that diesel has support through the Special Tax on Production and Services (IEPS), which aims to reduce the impact of fuel on the economy. However, it has been detected that some dealerships absorb these benefits without passing them on to the final consumer. This implies that the public resources allocated to stabilize prices are not fully fulfilling their function, which generates concern in the federal administration.

Government prepares audits and possible sanctions for gas stations

To correct these irregularities, the Executive announced a stricter oversight strategy for the gasoline sector. Among the planned actions are: Tax audits in coordination with financial authoritiesConstant monitoring of prices at service stationsReview of profit margins in the distribution chainPossible administrative sanctions for those who maintain high prices without justification These measures seek to ensure more equitable market conditions and protect consumers against potential abuses.

The drop in oil is not reflected in fuels

Another of the elements pointed out by the government is the behavior of the international market. The Mexican mix of oil has registered a decrease, going from around 100 to 88 dollars per barrel. In theory, this reduction should lower the price of derived fuels. However, this has not happened in the case of diesel, which reinforces the official position on the existence of unjustified increases. In this context, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit is analyzing additional mechanisms to incentivize a price decrease, with the goal of placing it below 28 pesos per liter.

Economic Impact and Pressure from Consumption

The rise in diesel has direct effects on the transport of goods and, consequently, on the cost of various products. This can affect inflation and the purchasing power of the population.
