TL;DR
- Gasoline prices decreased due to two successive reductions, bringing the average gallon near $15,000.
- Geopolitical escalation in Iran has increased oil and gas prices, impacting global crude markets.
- The government previously stated the Fepc had margin for reductions, but rising oil prices threaten this.
- The conflict in Iran could increase fiscal revenues from oil but endangers gasoline price reduction efforts.
- The Fepc should not be used as a permanent electoral instrument due to its impact on resources for mobility, security, and education.
- Recommendations include stopping unfulfillable promises, protecting system stability, transparently communicating the formula, improving logistics to reduce non-regulated costs, and developing a plan to reduce regressive diesel subsidies.
