As of Thursday, August 27, 2026, fuel prices at the leading Ukrainian gas station chains remain stable. Compared to Wednesday, August 26, the price tags for the main fuel grades — gasoline, diesel, and autogas — have not changed. The market is showing a lull after a period of volatility; however, behind the facade of price stability, pinpoint changes in the product range have been recorded, which drivers should keep in mind when choosing a station.

Who offers the cheapest fuel

Traditionally, the lowest prices for all types of fuel are offered by the Ukrnafta chain. Grade A-95 gasoline here costs 78.90 UAH/l, which is 4.00 UAH/l cheaper than at private gas stations (82.90 UAH/l). Diesel fuel at Ukrnafta is priced at 89.90 UAH/l, compared to 93.90 UAH/l at private operators, while autogas is 1.00–1.60 UAH cheaper per liter. Thus, the gap between the state operator and the private segment remains within 1–4 UAH/l, depending on the type of fuel.

Where fuel is the most expensive

At the upper end of the market's price range, certain chains stand out. The highest autogas price is recorded at WOG — 44.50 UAH/l. As for branded diesel fuel, the maximum price is offered by SOCAR — 97.90 UAH/l. These values form the upper boundary of the price corridor in which the Ukrainian fuel market is moving this week.

The only change: a supply disruption of A-98

The only notable change compared to Wednesday, August 26, affected the product range of the Ukrnafta chain. Grade A-98 (Energy) gasoline has temporarily disappeared from sale; the day before it was offered at 85.90 UAH/l. In other words, this is not a price revision but a pinpoint adjustment of the product lineup at one of the largest chains, which may affect the choices of owners of cars with engines designed for high-octane fuel.

Contradictory data

The coverage of the story by different outlets shows a stylistic discrepancy. RBC-Ukraine and a number of specialized sources emphasize that the price tags are "unchanged," while dengi.ua reinforces the thesis of market stability. At the same time, the headlines of certain publications (for example, gazeta.ua) are phrased as "fuel prices have changed." The difference is explained by the fact that "change" is understood in some cases as a revision of price tags, and in others as an adjustment of the product range (the disappearance of A-98 at Ukrnafta). Taken as a whole, the price lineup on August 27 did not change; only the product range of one chain was altered.

What this means for the driver

For the end consumer, the current situation means the preservation of the familiar price corridor: A-95 gasoline in the range of roughly 78.90–82.90 UAH/l, diesel — 89.90–97.90 UAH/l, autogas — peaking at WOG at 44.50 UAH/l. Owners of cars that were fueled with A-98 (Energy) at the Ukrnafta chain should take into account the temporary shortage of this grade and plan to refuel at alternative stations. Overall, the market on August 27, 2026, is characterized by price stability alongside local adjustments to the product range.
