Today's ministry-set prices for petrol, diesel, mazout and the 10 kg gas cylinder, read live from the Ministry of Energy and Water — per litre and per 20-litre canister, what a tank or a winter fill comes to, and how the price has moved decision by decision.

Almost everything a household here spends money on outside food is a fuel price the ministry sets: the car, because there is no bus up the last climb; the generator, because the grid gives a few hours a day; the mazout tank, because the winter is long at 1,800 m; and the cooking cylinder. This page reads the Ministry of Energy and Water's own price tables and shows what each of them costs today, per litre and per canister.
The ministry publishes by decision, not on a schedule — three came out in nine days in August 2026, and none at all between January and May. Every figure below carries the date of the decision that set it.

Mazout is read from the ministry’s generator-tariff table, which is where it is actually published: the mazout column of the fuels table has carried a zero on every decision.
These are the prices the Ministry of Energy and Water sets by decision, read from the ministry’s own price tables. What a station or a distributor charges can differ, and the ministry’s table can lag the press by a few days.

What that costs here
At today’s price
LBP 7,092,500
$79.25 In fresh dollars.
Petrol 95
LBP 141,850 per litre
How much
50 L = 2.5 × 20 L
A full tank on the saloons and small pickups most households here run — about 50 litres, or two and a half canisters.
Decision 221 of 2 October 2026
At LBP 89,500 to the dollar — Banque du Liban's official rate, which has held at about 89,500 lira to the dollar since February 2024. It is the rate the ministry's own figures are set against; a fresh-dollar price at a pump or from a distributor can differ. Checked 17 August 2026.
How it has moved
The recent decisions, newest first. The ministry does not publish on a fixed day: there were three decisions in nine days in August 2026, and none at all between January and May.

Set prices, not what you will be charged
These are the prices the ministry sets by decision, not a promise of what you will be charged. A station or a distributor up here can ask for more, especially after the road has been shut, and the ministry's table sometimes lags the decision the press has already reported by a few days. If what you are asked for is well above the figure here, the ministry's own page is the thing to check.
Worth knowing
Why everything is also shown per 20 litres
The ministry sets liquid-fuel prices by the 20-litre canister, and that is how fuel is bought and carried here — from a station in a canister in the back of the car, or delivered by the tank. The per-litre figure is the same number divided by twenty; both are shown so you can check whichever one you are quoted.
Mazout is published in a different table
The mazout column of the fuels table has read zero on every decision — that is the ministry's way of saying the decision did not set a price there, not that mazout is free. The figure it does publish is in the generator-tariff table, which this page reads instead, and which is issued monthly rather than every few days. Its date is shown beside it.
This is the price of the fuel, not the generator bill
What the neighbourhood generator may charge per kilowatt-hour is a separate ceiling the ministry sets each month. It has its own page here — the generator bill checker — which reads the same ministry table the mazout price above comes from.
Left out of this page because it cannot be read as a price: 15 December 2025. A figure an order of magnitude away from the decisions on either side of it is a dropped digit, not a price change. Nothing has been corrected — the ministry’s own page still carries these rows as published.
