A. M. El Salvador will experience a new decrease in fuel prices between april 15 and 28, 2025. According to official information from the General Directorate of Energy, Hydrocarbons and Mines, the reference price of the three types of fuel will decrease US$0.15 per gallon in the three zones of the country: Central, Western and Eastern.
In the Central zone, premium gasoline will cost US$3.77, regular gasoline US$3.51 and diesel US$3.25. Meanwhile, in the Western zone, the new prices will be US$3.78 for premium gasoline, US$3.52 for regular gasoline and US$3.26 for diesel. In the Eastern zone, where historically the highest prices are registered, premium gasoline will be US$3.81, regular gasoline US$3.55, and diesel US$3.30.
The reduction is the result of international factors that have directly impacted the hydrocarbons market. Among them, the increase in oil reserves reported by the International Energy Agency (IEA) stands out, as well as the increase in production by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Both situations have generated a downward trend in international prices.
In addition, trade tensions between the United States and China have caused high volatility in oil prices, indirectly contributing to this decline. This global context has allowed salvadorans to benefit from a decrease that relieves the pocket, especially in sectors that depend on transportation.
The General Directorate of Energy, Hydrocarbons and Mines reiterated its commitment to continue monitoring the international market to transfer any changes to local prices in a transparent and timely manner.
