How Are Fuel Prices Determined?
Fuel prices are set by specific market mechanisms in each country. In Turkey, prices are influenced by the Mediterranean refined product market averages, which reflect processed fuel costs in the region, and by the Turkish lira–US dollar exchange rate. Refineries calculate base costs using these factors, and distribution companies then set retail prices. Because of market competition and local operating conditions, final pump prices can vary slightly between companies and cities.
