Cancún, Quintana Roo — For the fourth time, a gas station in Cancún has been flagged as selling the most expensive Magna gasoline in Mexico, according to the latest report from the Federal Consumer Protection Agency (Profeco).
The station, Go Gas, located on Avenida Yaxchilán, is charging 25.39 pesos per liter, with a profit margin of 3.06 pesos, Profeco reported during President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo’s morning press conference.
Profeco chief César Iván Escalante Ruiz said the data, current as of July 17, showed the station’s price well above the national average of 23.69 pesos per liter.
Within Quintana Roo, Cozumel has the highest fuel prices overall, with five stations selling gasoline at 26.25 pesos per liter.
Nationally, the average price of diesel was 27.06 pesos per liter as of July 17, Profeco reported. The agency noted that diesel prices have been trending downward since the Mexican government and fuel retailers signed a voluntary agreement to stabilize costs. Between April 5 and July 17, the average diesel price fell about 6% after an increase linked to international energy market disruptions.
Escalante also announced the Summer 2026 Vacation Operation, running from July 16 to August 31, aimed at protecting consumer rights. During this period, authorities will conduct verification and surveillance in transportation, automotive services, tourism, lodging, food, and retail sectors.
As part of the strategy, 33 passenger service modules will be set up: 16 at airports, operating from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., including Cancún and Tulum, as well as terminals such as AICM, AIFA, Guadalajara, Guanajuato, Monterrey, Tijuana, and Toluca. Temporary modules will also operate in Acapulco, Huatulco, Los Cabos, Mérida, Puerto Vallarta, Querétaro, and Villahermosa.
The remaining 17 modules will serve bus stations from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. in cities including Cancún, Guadalajara, Mérida, Monterrey, Puebla, Querétaro, Tijuana, and Mexico City, at terminals such as Norte, Taxqueña, Observatorio, and TAPO.
To report irregularities or seek guidance, Profeco has set up phone lines at 55 5568 8722 and 800 468 8722.
