Diesel prices in Turkey dropped below 100 Turkish lira after a discount took effect, according to T24. The outlet reported the reduction on Saturday, September 19, 2026, saying the price of motorin had fallen under the 100-lira mark.
T24 also published a roundup of current fuel prices following the change. NTV Haber reported that diesel had previously risen above 100 lira and that station signs were updated again the same day, listing the new pump prices. Uzmanpara reported that the signs were changing and that a discount on diesel was on the way, and it published current fuel prices for Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir.
The coverage came from several Turkish outlets tracking the same shift at the pump. Sözcü Gazetesi framed the cost of fuel differently, publishing a piece under the headline "1 litre yakıta 6 kilo buğday," which compares the price of a litre of fuel with the amount of wheat. Separately, Ege'de Sonsöz reported that the head of a transporters' association commented on the diesel increase, saying it had passed them by.
The reports do not specify the size of the discount or the exact pump prices in each city. What to watch next is whether the lower diesel price holds or whether station signs change again in the coming days.
