Overview
- Mexico's Finance Ministry on Friday set Apr 25–May 1 fuel‑tax relief (IEPS is the per‑liter federal fuel tax), raising the offset for regular gasoline to about 1.05 pesos per liter, trimming diesel support to about 2.44, and leaving Premium with no support.
- A voluntary nationwide ceiling keeps diesel at 28 pesos per liter, an agreement the government and fuel retailers use to limit spikes at the pump.
- Profeco inspections that ran Apr 13–24 at 107 stations led 75.7% to lower prices, while 18 outlets were publicly flagged for charging above agreed margins.
- The government published that agriculture and fishing producers will get no targeted fuel supports in May, removing a benefit those sectors have used for diesel and Magna.
- International crude holds near $105–107 a barrel because of the Middle East conflict, and recent data show LPG prices in Mexico rose about 4%, adding pressure on household and small‑business budgets.
