Diesel Hits 102.80 Lira in Isparta, Station Sticks a "1" on Its Price Sign

Diesel's price per litre rose by 3.60 lira, from 99.20 lira to 102.80 lira. At one fuel station in Isparta, the price sign only had room for two digits, so the new figure did not fit. Staff stuck a "1" label in front of the numbers to show the hundreds digit. The report is based on sources dated 1 November 2026.

Isparta diesel and petrol prices

At the same station, the price of petrol rose from 78.50 lira to 82.60 lira per litre. Sources say these figures apply to that Isparta station only, and no national average prices were given. The station's name was not released.

Diesel passing the 100 lira mark exposed a problem that sign makers and fuel stations had not planned for. The fix was simple and temporary: a label stuck over the old sign showed customers the three-digit price.

Drivers complain about the hikes

Mehmet Çamur, who was filling up at the station, said the price increases were straining his budget. He said he expected the price could reach 120 to 130 lira by year-end. That is his personal view as a driver, not an official or industry forecast.

Another driver, Hasan Acar, said fuel price increases affect many sectors, not just vehicle owners. He said he did not think the global crisis would end in the short term, and that he expected price rises to continue for as long as the crisis lasted.

According to Haberler.com, the issue had also drawn attention through an ANKA report headlined "Huge midnight hike at the pump! Diesel tops 100 lira."
