Morocco fuel prices set to fall Monday, but diesel remains more expensive than gasoline
From Monday, November 16, a litre of unleaded gasoline is expected to drop by 50 to 61 centimes at three distributors in Morocco. Diesel prices are expected to fall by 20 to 29 centimes per litre.
In Casablanca, a litre of diesel would cost 16.75 dirhams at Shell, while a litre of unleaded gasoline would cost 14.88 dirhams. These prices, calculated by Le360 from prices recorded in early November and cuts announced to service stations, would widen the gap between the two fuels from 1.57 to 1.87 dirhams per litre.
For 50 litres at Shell, the bill would be 837.50 dirhams for diesel and 744 dirhams for unleaded gasoline, a difference of 93.50 dirhams.
At Afriquia, a litre would cost 16.20 dirhams for diesel and 14.59 dirhams for gasoline. TotalEnergies is planning the steepest cuts of the three brands. At the expected prices in Casablanca, a litre there would cost 16.70 dirhams for diesel and 15.08 dirhams for unleaded gasoline.
During the November 1 price revision, diesel had risen by as much as one dirham per litre depending on the service station, while gasoline had already fallen.
