Gas Station Prices on August 24, 2026: Fuel Has Stabilized, but the Spread Between Networks Reaches 5 Hryvnias per Liter

As of Monday, August 24, 2026, the Ukrainian fuel market is showing stability: after the weekend, prices for gasoline, diesel, and autogas have not changed. At the same time, as analysts note, a noticeable spread persists between individual gas station networks — up to five hryvnias per liter depending on the operator and the type of fuel. For a driver, this means that the choice of a specific station can have a tangible impact on the final cost of filling a full tank.

The Overall Market Picture

The fuel market in the second half of August 2026 is in a phase of stabilization. Operators are not revising retail rates, which is typical for a period when the balance between wholesale quotes, the exchange rate, and logistics costs does not shift sharply. Under such conditions, competition shifts from the plane of "who is cheaper in the market as a whole" to the plane of "who is cheaper within a specific network," and it is precisely this internal spread that becomes the key factor for the consumer.

Ukrnafta as the Budget Leader

Among the networks represented, the state-owned "Ukrnafta" traditionally remains the most affordable option. According to monitoring data, it is here that the lowest prices are recorded for all types of fuel without exception — from standard gasoline to diesel and autogas. This makes the network a logical choice for those who refuel regularly and strive to minimize fuel expenses.

Spread in Private Networks

In the private networks OKKO, WOG, and SOCAR, the situation is more differentiated. For standard A-95 gasoline and premium grade 100, prices are identical across all three networks. Differences appear with diesel: at SOCAR it costs 1.00 UAH/l more than at competitors. The maximum gap is in autogas: the highest rate is set at WOG (44.50 UAH/l), while at OKKO and SOCAR gas is offered at 43.90 UAH/l.

Contradictory Data

The opening thesis that the price difference per liter between individual networks amounts to five hryvnias does not fully match the specific figures cited in the same material: for A-95 and 100 gasoline there is no difference between OKKO, WOG, and SOCAR, for diesel it is one hryvnia, and for gas — 0.60 UAH/l. The five-hryvnia gap probably reflects the maximum spread across the totality of all fuel types and all networks (including "Ukrnafta"), rather than the difference between private operators on a single item. Readers should bear in mind that "up to five hryvnias" is the upper bound across the entire spectrum, not a typical difference on a specific grade.

What This Means for the Driver

The practical conclusion is simple: in a stable market, savings are achieved not by waiting for price cuts, but by choosing the right network. If the priority is the lowest price on any type of fuel, "Ukrnafta" is optimal. If a habit of using private networks matters more, then for gasoline there is no difference between OKKO, WOG, and SOCAR, while for gas and diesel it is more advantageous to refuel not at WOG and not at SOCAR, respectively. A spread of several hryvnias per liter with a full tank of 40–50 liters turns into tens of hryvnias of real savings per single refueling.
