Gasoline and diesel will not receive fiscal stimulus; average price of Magna remains under $24.00 per liter
Regular gasoline (Magna) is currently sold at an average price of 23.57 pesos per liter in Mexico, as there will be no fiscal stimulus for fuel taxes this week.
As of February 13, 2026, regular gasoline in Mexico is priced at 23.57 pesos per liter, according to the PetroIntelligence portal. This pricing occurs amid the decision by the Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) to refrain from providing fiscal stimulus for the taxes levied on fuel purchases. Both ordinary (Magna) and premium gasoline, as well as diesel, will continue to face standard taxation with no relief measures in place. The absence of fiscal stimulus is detailed in a decree published in the Official Journal of the Federation (DOF), which indicates that the SHCP will not authorize tax breaks on the Special Tax on Production and Services (IEPS) for these fuels during this period. Fiscal stimuli are typically granted by a coalition of governmental departments to allow individuals and corporations to contribute resources to investment projects while reducing their income tax obligations. This decision will remain in effect from February 14 to February 20, 2026, impacting consumers facing high fuel prices and could influence general price levels in the economy, considering that fuel costs are a significant factor in various economic activities across Mexico.
