Mexico Sets 2026 Fuel and LP IEPS Rates to Take Effect January 1

Consumers face potential price increases that vary by region due to oil markets, logistics, plus retailer margins, with CNE posting weekly LP price averages.

Overview

  • The Finance Ministry published the 2026 IEPS quotas in the Diario Oficial de la Federación, making them effective on January 1, 2026.
  • National per‑liter IEPS was fixed at MXN 6.7001 for regular gasoline, MXN 5.6579 for premium, MXN 7.3634 for diesel, and MXN 5.6579 for non‑fossil fuels.
  • State‑allocated shares were set at 59.1390 centavos per liter for regular, 72.1605 centavos for premium, and 49.0817 centavos for diesel.
  • LP tax quotas were updated to 10.1248 centavos per liter for propane and 13.1025 centavos per liter for butane.
  • Reporters note the tax update typically adds upward pressure on pump and LP prices, though final levels depend on international crude prices, logistics, and gas‑station margins, with CNE releasing weekly regional LP averages.
