As of October 17, 2026, another wave of fuel price hikes has been recorded at Ukrainian filling stations. According to data from major networks, the largest increases once again affect two categories — diesel fuel and autogas, while basic grades of gasoline are holding steady for now. Recent market dynamics show uneven movement: gas is showing the highest growth rates, diesel is steadily adding one hryvnia per liter, and A-95 gasoline remains relatively stable.
Autogas Nears 52 Hryvnias per Liter
Automotive gas is rapidly breaking new price barriers and has come close to the 50–52 hryvnia per liter mark. The most noticeable jump was recorded at SOCAR filling stations, where gas went up by 2 hryvnias at once to 52,90 UAH/l. At WOG, autogas rose to 51,50 UAH/l (+1 UAH), and at OKKO to 50,90 UAH/l (+1 UAH). In the Ukrnafta and UPG networks, prices reached 48,90 UAH/l and 49,90 UAH/l respectively, also with a 1 hryvnia increase. Thus, the psychological threshold of 50 hryvnias per liter of gas has already been crossed in some networks.
Diesel Fuel Rising in Leading Networks
Leading operators have raised diesel prices once again. At OKKO, Pulls and Euro diesel went up by 1 hryvnia to 105,90 UAH/l and 102,90 UAH/l. WOG records a 1 hryvnia increase: Mustang diesel to 103,50 UAH/l, Euro-5 diesel to 106,50 UAH/l. Similarly, discounters and other networks raised prices by 1 hryvnia: Ukrnafta to 99,90–101,90 UAH/l, UPG to 100,90–102,90 UAH/l. According to experts, diesel remains more vulnerable to external price fluctuations than gasoline.
Gasoline Remains Stable for Now
Despite the rapid rise in diesel and gas prices, the cost of the basic A-95 gasoline grade in key networks remains stable as of October 17. This creates a temporary gap in dynamics: drivers fueling up with gasoline do not yet feel the increase, while owners of diesel vehicles and cars running on gas face noticeable price hikes.
Why Prices Are Rising
According to Serhiy Kuyun, fuel market expert and director of the A-95 consulting company, the price growth is driven by the risk of temporary supply disruptions due to strikes on fuel infrastructure, as well as high market volatility, which is projected to persist until the end of autumn. The industry has remained one of the targets of shelling since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, intensifying a rush at filling stations and supporting pressure on prices. Further dynamics will depend on the situation on the global oil market, petroleum product prices in Europe, the hryvnia exchange rate, and supply logistics.
