Akaryakıt Prices Today in Türkiye
Fuel prices can differ from one city and district to another. Transportation costs, distribution arrangements and local station pricing can create differences at the pump.
Latest major-city figures
- Istanbul European side: Petrol 80.40 TL, diesel 93.50 TL, LPG 34.99 TL
- Istanbul Asian side: Petrol 80.30 TL, diesel 93.30 TL, LPG 34.40 TL

These figures are reported for September 30 and can change when new adjustments take effect.
Why Are Akaryakıt Prices Changing?
Türkiye’s fuel prices are affected by several factors. The most important include:
- Brent crude oil prices
- Turkish lira exchange rates
- Special Consumption Tax (ÖTV)
- Value Added Tax (KDV)
- Refinery prices
- Distribution and transportation costs
- International energy-market developments
Changes in global oil prices can therefore affect domestic fuel prices, while exchange-rate movements can also influence the Turkish-lira cost of imported energy.
October 1 Fuel Price Change
One of the biggest developments in today’s akaryakıt news concerns the end of the existing eşel mobil mechanism from October 1.
According to Energy Daily’s report, the end of the system is expected to result in increases of approximately 12.47 TL per litre for petrol, 3.60 TL for diesel and 1.48 TL for LPG, including VAT, if the expected changes are reflected at the pump. These are reported expected increases rather than confirmed prices already in effect.
The expected change is attracting significant attention because petrol prices could move substantially higher in major cities if the full calculated increase reaches consumers.
Diesel ÖTV Changes
The Turkish government previously announced a new approach to the Special Consumption Tax applied to diesel.
According to TRT Haber, diesel ÖTV was scheduled to increase gradually during the remainder of 2026. The reported schedule includes 3 TL in September, 6 TL in October, 9 TL in November and 12 TL in December, before a further adjustment from January 1, 2027.
The government said the arrangement was designed to address inflation-related pressures while considering the effects of diesel costs on transportation, food and industrial production.
Petrol, Motorin and LPG News
For Turkish motorists, the three main fuel categories remain:
Benzin: Petrol is widely used by passenger vehicles and its price is particularly sensitive to crude-oil prices, currency movements and tax changes.
Motorin: Diesel is especially important for commercial transportation, logistics, agricultural machinery and many passenger vehicles. Changes in diesel prices can therefore have wider effects on transportation costs.
LPG: Autogas remains an important alternative fuel for Turkish motorists. LPG prices also respond to energy-market and tax developments.
What Drivers Should Watch
Motorists following akaryakıt fiyatları bugün should pay particular attention to the transition taking place around October 1. Price changes can be announced shortly before they become effective, and pump prices can vary according to location.
Drivers should check their local station price before filling their vehicle rather than relying exclusively on national averages.
Akaryakıt Latest Update
The September 30 fuel market is focused on both today’s petrol, diesel and LPG prices and the expected changes beginning October 1. Current major-city prices remain around the levels reported above, while market reports indicate potentially significant increases once the existing tax mechanism ends.
