Overview
- Profeco and ASEA said the complaints stem from an extraordinary verification of 230 service stations that concluded on December 16 and whose results were released on December 20.
- Profeco immobilized 780 measuring instruments after detecting irregularities, including the sale of incomplete liters of fuel.
- ASEA ordered the temporary total closure of 161 stations for environmental noncompliance uncovered during the inspections.
- Routine verifications will continue, with authorities pledging sanctions or new referrals if fresh violations are found, and consumers are urged to report anomalies and consult a virtual map of fair-price stations.
- The campaign sits within a voluntary cap of 24 pesos per liter for regular gasoline, with regional data showing price declines up to 4% and the Southeast still above 24 pesos due to logistics.
