With the end of the month approaching, different state agencies make projections regarding the price of fuel for October. On this occasion, both the Regulatory Unit for Energy and Water Services (Ursea) and the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mining (MIEM) project the drop in prices for the 10th month of the year.
In the case of Ursea, the Import Parity Price (PPI) report points to a decrease based on the ex-plant value of gasoline and diesel. It should be noted that this document is one of the tools (established from the LUC) that serves the Executive to set costs.
On the other hand, the MIEM’s monthly projection to the pump of the retail price, which considers the costs of the distribution chain, supports Ursea’s estimates.
Gasoline would go down, diesel would go up
According to the MIEM projection, the cost of Super 95 gasoline would fall by 4%. This would translate into going from 77.88 pesos per liter to 74.76, that is, 3.12 pesos less.
However, according to forecast data released by Underlined, in the case of diesel 50-S a high is estimated. The current value is 647.99 pesos and the projection is located at 65.80, which represents an increase of 0.81 pesos (1.2% more).
