On Sunday, November 15, 2026, the Ukrainian fuel market saw targeted price adjustments. While most major operators kept their existing price lists unchanged, two networks—state-owned Ukrnafta and private UPG—modified the costs of specific fuel types. The main events of the day were the decrease in diesel prices at Ukrnafta and the rise in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices at UPG stations. We break down what exactly changed and where it is currently most profitable to refuel.
Ukrnafta Lowers Diesel Prices
The state-owned gas station chain Ukrnafta dropped both grades of diesel fuel by UAH 1.00/l on Sunday. Standard diesel fell to UAH 101.90/l, while Energy diesel dropped to UAH 103.90/l. Thus, Ukrnafta continues its trend of lowering diesel fuel prices, which began at the beginning of the week and is driven by falling international quotations for this fuel type. For drivers using diesel vehicles, this translates to real savings at every refuel.
UPG Raises Autogas Prices
A completely different dynamic was recorded at the UPG network, where liquefied petroleum gas increased by UAH 1.00/l to reach UAH 61.90/l. This change stripped UPG of its status as the operator with the cheapest autogas on the market. The price growth for LPG is explained by high procurement costs: as of mid-November, the wholesale price of autogas is about UAH 110,000/t, or UAH 59.40/l, creating steady pressure on retail price lists. Over the past month, retail autogas has risen in price by UAH 14–15/l, making it increasingly less competitive compared to gasoline.
The "Big Three" Maintain Price Calm
Operators OKKO, WOG, and SOCAR made no changes on Sunday to the cost of any fuel type—gasoline, diesel, or gas. In these networks, A-95 gasoline remains at UAH 90.90–91.90/l, diesel fuel at UAH 105.90–109/l, and autogas at UAH 63.50–63.90/l depending on the operator. The stability of price lists in the largest private networks indicates that current price adjustments are targeted and do not reflect a systemic review of tariff policy on the market.
Where Is It Currently Most Profitable to Refuel
As of November 15, the lowest price for A-95 gasoline—UAH 86.90/l—is held by Ukrnafta and UPG. The cheapest diesel is still offered by UPG at UAH 101.56/l. Regarding autogas, following the price hike at UPG, Ukrnafta has become the sole leader in LPG affordability with a price of UAH 60.90/l. Thus, choosing the optimal station for refuel directly depends on the type of fuel a driver needs: for gasoline and diesel, UPG and Ukrnafta are more profitable; for autogas, it is Ukrnafta.
Context: Quotations and Wholesale Prices
The decline in retail prices for gasoline and diesel at Ukrainian gas stations directly correlates with the dynamics of international quotations. Over the week, gasoline quotations fell by $61/t to $926/t, reaching the lowest level since the end of June. Diesel quotations dropped by $47/t to $1,300/t, hitting a minimum since the end of August. Since the beginning of the week, average retail prices for gasoline have decreased by UAH 1.50/l, and for diesel by UAH 1.30/l. Against this background, autogas, on the contrary, is getting more expensive due to high procurement costs, and its retail price is already about 70% of the gasoline price, which reduces the economic advantage of gas motor fuel.
