Turkey fuel prices: Tax restructuring and price divergence

Overview

The Turkish fuel market has undergone significant restructuring following the official termination of the ‘eşel-mobil’ stabilization mechanism on October 1, 2026. This system had previously mitigated the impact of global oil volatility by adjusting Special Consumption Tax (SCT/ÖTV) rates. To prevent sudden inflationary shocks, the government implemented a gradual transition model for gasoline SCT. Rather than a single large hike, the tax for 95-octane unleaded gasoline will increase in installments through December 2026. Conversely, LPG prices saw immediate increases, with SCT rising to 11.3830 TL per kilogram, pushing prices above 40 TL per liter. Diesel prices remain subject to a scheduled, graduated SCT increase of 3 TL per month through the end of the year.

In mid-October, gasoline prices experienced a temporary reprieve. Despite rising Brent crude oil prices, which surpassed $110 per barrel due to Middle East security risks, Turkish fuel prices saw consecutive reductions. Following an initial cut of 4.30 TL per liter, a second reduction of 3.35 TL was implemented, bringing the total weekly decrease for gasoline to approximately 7.65 TL.

However, this downward trend is expected to be reversed by scheduled tax adjustments. As of late October, significant price hikes are anticipated to begin November 1, 2026. Industry sources indicate gasoline SCT is expected to rise, potentially increasing pump prices by approximately 4.15 TL and pushing costs above 80 TL per liter. Diesel SCT is projected to rise, leading to an estimated increase of 3.60 TL per liter, which could push diesel prices above the 100 TL per liter threshold. Additionally, reports suggest a substantial hike for LPG, with potential increases between 9.09 TL and 9.15 TL per liter, which could drive prices above 50 TL in certain areas.
