Price Transparency for Importing and Trading Gasoline, Diesel & Jet Fuel in Mexico

Make smarter buying decisions with a pricing index for the full value chain of imported fuel.

Get a true buildup cost of cross-border shipments from the U.S. to Mexico with the OPIS Mexico Fuels Report. It features a landed spot market index that assesses the price of Mexico-delivered gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel, based on the daily OPIS assessments for U.S. benchmark refined product spot markets.

Regional gasoline specifications in Mexico are not the same as the fuel that is pricing in the U.S. benchmark spot markets – this report accurately identifies RVP and octane blend values across those regions to provide a complete picture of the buildup cost to supply fuel across the border.Try the Mexico Fuels Report free.

What does the report include?

At the heart of the Mexico Fuels Report is a daily calculation of landed spot prices for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. These prices are built from OPIS’s trusted U.S. Gulf Coast spot assessments, which serve as a benchmark for fuel traded in the Americas. The report adds vital components—including clean freight, port charges, octane adjustments, RVP (Reid Vapor Pressure) specifications, Renewable Volume Specification (RVO), and foreign exchange conversions—to produce a realistic view of the actual delivered cost into key Mexican markets.

Rather than relying solely on rack prices, the OPIS Mexico Fuels Report reflects more complete costs of moving fuel into the country’s primary import hubs—such as Tuxpan, Veracruz, Altamira, and Lazaro Cárdenas. 

In addition to daily landed spot price assessments, subscribers gain access to valuable market context and intelligence. The report includes concise updates on regulatory changes, policy shifts, infrastructure developments, terminal-level activity and energy news — which influence price behavior and supply planning. Mexico Alerts are included at all service levels for Mexico Fuel Report subscribers

This combination of granular pricing and qualitative insight makes the OPIS Mexico Fuels Report one of the most robust pricing tools available for anyone doing business across Mexico’s fuel supply chain.

Who uses this report?

The OPIS Mexico Fuels Report is a vital resource for a wide range of market participants, including:

  • Fuel importers and marketers, who need accurate build-up cost estimates to assess arbitrage, secure contracts, or optimize sourcing strategies.
  • Retail fuel networks, who use landed spot-to-retail modeling to protect margins and benchmark competitiveness against PEMEX or private rack prices. 
  • Trading firms and refiners, who rely on these numbers to price export cargoes, forecast flows, and react quickly to market disruptions.
  • Financial institutions and consultants, who apply the data to feasibility studies, investment evaluations, and risk modeling.

For example, a private importer supplying stations in northern Mexico can compare landed spot prices from the U.S. Gulf Coast versus Pacific Coast alternatives, layered with transport and additive costs, to decide which route offers the best economics. Retailers can also analyze the spread between landed spot prices and local retail or rack rates to manage pricing strategies more effectively.

With Mexico’s recent fuel market shifts — from capped retail regular gasoline prices to tighter margins — gaining full visibility across the value chain is essential to making smarter decisions and strengthening negotiations with your counterparties.
