When the reduction is expected

Son Dakika, citing industry sources, reports an expected TL4.30 reduction in the price of a litre of petrol. The anticipated start is midnight between Monday, October 19 and Tuesday, October 20. Sözcü and Istanbul Ticaret Gazetesi report the same amount and date. This is an expectation, rather than confirmation that pump prices have already changed.

Reported city price projections

If fully implemented, the source projects TL79.60 per litre for Istanbul, TL80.60 for Ankara and TL80.80 for İzmir. It also cites TL82.20 for eastern provinces, but this should not be treated as a uniform tariff at every station across that region. Sözcü’s current-price list also shows differences between Istanbul’s two sides. The actual amount payable will be the station’s current pump price.

Effect on a 50-litre purchase

A TL4.30-per-litre reduction would lower the cost of buying the same quantity by TL172 for 40 litres, TL215 for 50 litres and TL258 for 60 litres. These calculations assume the expected cut is passed on in full.

Background and scope

The source links the expectation to Brent crude falling to $104 a barrel. The reported development concerns petrol; it does not announce an identical reduction for diesel or LPG. Drivers should check the station’s updated tariff on October 20.
