Overview
- Major suppliers Petroperú and Repsol updated their plant (wholesale) price lists in mid‑July, reversing weeks of falling wholesale diesel and gasoline costs.
- Global benchmarks have risen sharply, with WTI trading above USD 90 and Brent near USD 100, a move cited by local analysts as the main driver of the wholesale increases.
- Osinergmin’s Facilito shows wide retail ranges nationwide for diesel, with national diesel listings between S/19.35 and S/27.99 and many Arequipa stations selling diesel around S/20–S/22 per gallon.
- Freight and driver representatives in Arequipa called the rise a sharp blow and have asked for a meeting with the president, though they say they have not passed higher fuel costs onto passenger or freight fares yet.
- Peru imports much of its fuel, so wholesale shifts translate to consumer prices; Petroperú’s Diésel B5 moved from about S/17.31 to S/21.02 and Repsol lists around S/22.59, reversing a prior multi‑month decline and raising risks for transport costs and inflation.
