Published Aug 4, 2026, 6:46 AM ASTvia Primera Hora

Why this matters: For Puerto Rican households and businesses, the increase in fuel prices may impact daily expenses and operations, particularly for those reliant on gasoline and diesel for transportation and commerce.

The Department of Consumer Affairs (DACO) released an update on gasoline prices in Puerto Rico, which are fluctuating due to the conflict in the Middle East and disruptions in oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz. According to the update, regular gasoline prices should range between $0.96 and $1.03 per liter, premium between $1.10 and $1.20, and diesel between $1.20 and $1.30.

The conflict and supply disruptions have caused fuel prices to surge.
