YPF to Cut Petrol Prices by 2% on Average This Week Through Dynamic Pricing

Reductions will roll out gradually via daily zone-based adjustments in response to lower crude prices.

Overview

  • CEO Horacio Marín said the average nationwide cut to nafta will be applied little by little over the coming days and will not be uniform across the network.
  • YPF’s micropricing system, in place since August across 174 corridors, allows daily changes by demand and location instead of across-the-board moves.
  • Diesel will see mixed adjustments, with some grades set to rise and others to fall.
  • The decision follows a reported 17% drop in international oil prices over the past year even as biodiesel and bioethanol acquisition prices recently rose about 5%.
  • Upcoming fuel-tax updates from January may offset part of the relief, and YPF is preparing a 2026 retail shift to segment stations into premium, core and low-cost brands.
