On Thursday, October 29, 2026, another price increase for automotive gas was recorded at Ukrainian gas stations, bringing its cost dangerously close to the psychological threshold of 60 hryvnias per liter. Meanwhile, the market for light petroleum products remains stable, with prices for gasoline and diesel fuel holding steady across most major retail networks. The pricing dynamics in the fuel market demonstrate contrasting trends, with the liquefied gas segment remaining the most volatile.
Auto Gas Price Dynamics Across Leading Networks
The most notable price jump for liquefied gas was recorded at the OKKO network, where the price immediately increased by 2.40 hryvnias per liter to reach 59.90 hryvnias. In other major retail structures such as SOCAR, Ukrnafta, and UPG, the growth was more moderate yet still tangible for car owners, with auto gas rising by 1.00 hryvnia per liter. At the same time, the WOG network took a restraining stance, keeping the cost of liquefied gas at 58.90 hryvnias per liter. Experts attribute this dynamic to wholesale supply conditions and shifting balances in the domestic fuel market.
Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Situation
Against the backdrop of continuing increases in auto gas prices, the gasoline and diesel fuel market in the country demonstrates stability. Prices for popular gasoline grades, including A-92, A-95, and high-octane premium fuels, remained at the previous day's level without any corrections. The cost of standard and premium diesel also holds steady at all key operators across the country. The price range for diesel fuel varies from 102.90 hryvnias per liter at UPG and Ukrnafta discount networks to 111.00 hryvnias per liter for premium brands at SOCAR.
Regional Features and the Situation in the Capital
In the capital region, pricing trends follow nationwide patterns, although the cost of premium fuels in several locations has nearly reached critical thresholds. According to monitoring of the Kyiv retail market, prices for premium diesel in the largest gas station networks of the capital reach 109–110 hryvnias per liter. The cost of A-95 gasoline in Kyiv ranges widely from 87.90 to 95.90 hryvnias per liter. Drivers continue to face high fuel costs, prompting them to pay closer attention to promotional offers and operators' loyalty programs.
Influencing Factors and Market Forecasts
The current pricing situation at Ukrainian gas stations reflects both external economic factors and internal logistical challenges faced by the fuel industry. Threats to the uninterrupted delivery of petroleum products along key directions, including southern and eastern routes, create additional pressure on logistics and companies' operating expenses. Nevertheless, experts and industry participants do not forecast a widespread fuel shortage in the Ukrainian market, and future price behavior will depend on global market conditions and supply stability.
