Turkey diesel prices drop by 5.36 TL per liter
Diesel prices in Turkey have undergone a significant reduction of 5.36 TL per liter, effective from midnight on August 27, 2026. This sharp decrease follows a drop in global Brent crude oil prices, which fell below the 85 USD per barrel threshold, alongside easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, specifically regarding US-Iran relations.
Following the price adjustment, diesel prices in major cities have shifted significantly. In Istanbul, the price per liter has dropped to approximately 77.37 TL, while in Ankara it is around 78.47 TL, and in Izmir it is approximately 78.76 TL. In eastern provinces, the average price is expected to be around 80.21 TL.
While diesel prices saw a major decline, gasoline prices experienced a separate increase of 2.74 TL per liter earlier in the period. Gasoline prices in major cities like Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir remain above 74 TL per liter. The fuel price fluctuations are driven by the interplay of international oil markets, exchange rates, and local taxation.
