Morocco fuel prices: diesel up, gasoline down from Nov 1
Fuel stations in Morocco raised diesel prices and cut gasoline prices in an adjustment that took effect on 1 November 2026.
Fuel distributors in Morocco have raised diesel prices and cut gasoline prices, in an adjustment that took effect overnight from Saturday to Sunday, 1 November 2026, according to professional sources cited by Le Matin and Hespress.
An uneven rise across distributors
The price of a liter of diesel rose between 0.50 and 1 dirham depending on the distributor, while the price of premium gasoline fell between 0.10 and 0.50 dirham per liter. Le Matin estimates the new diesel price at between 16.41 and 16.61 dirhams per liter, up from about 15.61 dirhams, and the new gasoline price at between 15.03 and 15.23 dirhams, down from about 15.33 dirhams, noting that these prices are indicative and may vary by city and station.
| Product | Change |
|---|---|
| Diesel | Up 0.50 to 1 dirham per liter |
| Premium gasoline | Down 0.10 to 0.50 dirham per liter |
A "technical pricing error"?
Hespress reports, citing a professional source at the National Federation of Fuel Station Owners, Merchants and Managers in Morocco, that questions are circulating within the industry over whether the diesel increase is a technical pricing error, with a possible correction expected early next week. The adjustment coincides with the launch of a new periodic price-review system.
A tense global oil backdrop
The adjustment comes amid a cumulative upward trend in fuel prices since mid-summer that has pushed diesel to record levels, as Brent crude settled at $117.64 a barrel on 30 October, up 2.4% in a single session, amid fears of a supply disruption through the Strait of Hormuz, with OPEC+ expected to keep output unchanged. Brent gained 13.6% and WTI 15.2% over the full month of October.
What it means for consumers
The diesel increase will add pressure on transport and logistics professionals, who rely on it directly for their operating costs, while gasoline users will feel some relative relief from the decrease. The government continues to pay exceptional support to transport professionals to absorb the shock, and affirms the soundness of national energy reserves. Diesel prices had already fallen 20 centimes in mid-October, after a sharp rise recorded in late September.
Given the gap between distributors, drivers are advised to compare posted prices before filling up, especially in major cities where stations from different companies sit close together.
