In Morocco, diesel reached about 16.90 dirhams per litre on November 1, versus 15.50 dirhams for petrol. The increase varies by station, from 50 centimes to one dirham per litre. In early July, diesel had fallen to about 12.61 dirhams in Casablanca.

Diesel in Morocco: a full tank at 845 dirhams, up from 630.50 at the start of July

In Morocco, motorists discovered on Sunday 1 November that fuel prices had changed again. On the published price boards, a litre of diesel reaches about 16.90 dirhams, compared with 15.50 dirhams for petrol.

The increase took effect overnight from Saturday to Sunday, and its size depends on the petrol station. It ranges from 50 centimes to one dirham more per litre. The gaps between retailers are clear: at another station, regular diesel is displayed at 16.30 dirhams and regular petrol at 15.65 dirhams.

It is worth looking back a little to see how far prices have moved. On 15 October, Bladi.net recorded diesel prices in Casablanca between 16.10 and 16.18 dirhams, before a announced reduction of 20 centimes. At the start of July, diesel had fallen to around 12.61 dirhams at several stations in the city.

On a 50-litre tank, the difference is easy to see. At 16.90 dirhams a litre, a full tank now costs 845 dirhams, compared with 630.50 dirhams at the 12.61-dirham price recorded at the start of July. Between those two reference points, the gap comes to 214.50 dirhams. At the station displaying 16.30 dirhams a litre, the same full tank costs 815 dirhams.
