Mexico City — Mexico’s Federal Consumer Protection Agency announced it will strengthen and expand monitoring of fuel prices across the country to detect irregularities and ensure compliance with established agreements with the gasoline sector.
The agency said it will incorporate new oversight mechanisms, including citizen participation, allowing people to report prices using evidence such as photographs taken at service stations.
This measure aims to strengthen field surveillance and identify cases where charges exceed established prices.
The agency detailed that this monitoring will help identify deviations in prices for regular gasoline, premium gasoline, diesel, and liquefied petroleum gas, in a context where agreements remain in place to stabilize fuel costs.
Currently, monitoring is part of programs like “Who’s Who in Fuels,” which informs consumers about the fairest prices in the market. Under this scheme, the national average price for regular gasoline has remained below 24 pesos per liter in recent months.
The expanded monitoring also responds to the need to reinforce transparency and prevent unjustified increases in fuel prices, in coordination with energy sector authorities and gasoline station operators.
