Is there a discount on diesel, will there be one? Will gasoline prices drop?

Brent crude has fallen roughly 20% since October 23, sharp declines that have Turkish drivers asking daily whether diesel and gasoline pump prices will be cut. The article ties the drop in the international benchmark to the domestic market, where retail fuel prices are set by refiners and distributors using import costs and the lira exchange rate rather than adjusted automatically. Because Turkey imports nearly all of its crude and refined products, the full effect of cheaper oil typically reaches pumps only after a lag and is often diluted by currency weakness. Whether motorin (diesel) and benzin (gasoline) prices actually fall depends on the lira holding steady and on distributors passing through the savings. Watch the next round of price announcements from Turkish refiners and any movement in the exchange rate.
