Overview
- This week SENER, Pemex, the CNE, Profeco and ASEA issued a joint statement saying reports that the federal government is closing gas stations nationwide are completely false.
- Pemex said it has enough gasoline and diesel to meet demand and reported a 9% increase in sales from January to May 2026 compared with the same period last year.
- The agencies said inspections and verifications are carried out under existing law to confirm fuel origin, correct volumes and safety for users and the environment.
- Pemex used social media to deny a separate claim that 100,000 barrels per day disappeared in the first quarter of 2026 because of illegal tapping.
- Owners of small stations told reporters they still face supply gaps and pressure during inspections, a split that could raise the risk of local shortages and push independent operators to organize for better representation.
