Mexico has the highest gasoline prices among the world’s top consumers

Image
Among the 10 countries that consume the most gasoline in the world, Mexico is the one that currently pays the highest price per liter, mainly due to its fuel tax burden, according to an analysis by specialist Ramsés Pech . In Mexico, the average price of regular gasoline is 23.37 pesos (US $1.30) per liter, meaning that Mexicans pay an average of 10.28 pesos (US $0.57) in taxes per liter — the highest tax burden among the world’s 10 largest fuel consumers. Two taxes are levied on each liter of gasoline sold in Mexico: the Value Added Tax (VAT) and the Special Tax on Production and Services (IEPS). As of December 2025, the IEPS tax was 6.46 pesos (US $0.36) per liter of regular or Magna gasoline, plus a 16% VAT. Meanwhile, in Brazil, the average price of regular gasoline is 20.13 pesos (US $1.12); in Japan it is 18.16 pesos (US $1.01); in India it is 17.62 pesos (US $0.98); in Canada it is 16.72 pesos (US $0.93), and in China and the United States it is 14.74 (US $0.82) and 13.66 (US...

As Lake Texcoco recovers, rising water swallows the ruins of the canceled airport

Heavy summer rains in central Mexico are revitalizing Lake Texcoco, submerging the remnants of the partially built Mexico City airport project and marking a symbolic turn in a decades-long debate over land use and ecological restoration. According to the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (CONANP), nearly two months of persistent rainfall have brought water levels in Lake Texcoco to depths reaching four meters. La estructura del aeropuerto de Texcoco está hoy totalmente inundada convirtiéndose en un cuerpo de agua de un ecosistema que nunca debió ser desecado. pic.twitter.com/ycYy85sGZj — César Pineda (@cesarpinedar) July 7, 2025 The waters have covered the partially constructed terminal and the concrete foundations left after work on what was to be a new Mexico City International Airport was abruptly cancelled nearly seven years ago.

Mexico’s year in review: The 10 biggest news and politics stories of 2024

Image
We are approaching the end of another year of big news in Mexico. It was a historic year, as Mexicans elected a female president for the first time ever. It was a year of change, as Claudia Sheinbaum took office, Andrés Manuel López Obrador left public life after a long political career and various modifications were made to the Mexican Constitution. And, unfortunately, 2024 was also a violent year in Mexico, as the country’s notorious cartels continued to fight each other — and in the case of the Sinaloa Cartel, itself. Of course plenty of other adjectives and nouns could be used to describe 2024 in Mexico: A year of hope. An uncertain year. A record-breaking year . A year of extreme weather. As we did at the end of 2023 , Mexico News Daily looked back at the year that was and selected 10 news and politics stories that we believe are among the biggest of 2024. In some cases they are stories that are ongoing, stories with no clear end or resolution in sight, stories that we will c...
