Gasoline already at 105 hryvnias: what is happening at Ukrainian gas stations on October 11

Another wave of fuel price increases is being recorded on the Ukrainian retail fuel market. The cost of gasoline, diesel, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has once again come into the spotlight for motorists and energy market experts, as price changes affect key filling station networks across the country.

Price Dynamics at Premium Gas Stations

According to market monitoring, one of the premium gas station networks, SOCAR, has raised prices across all main positions by an average of 1 hryvnia per liter. As a result of this jump, the popular А-95 gasoline rose in price to 95.90 hryvnias per liter, while the premium NANO 100 fuel broke through the psychological threshold and anchored at 105.00 hryvnias per liter. Automotive gas at this network also increased in price, reaching 48.90 hryvnias per liter, reflecting overall trends in rising logistics and import costs.

Synchronous Growth in Auto Gas Prices

In parallel with changes in the premium segment, other market participants are also adjusting their price lists. The UPG network increased the cost of autogas by 1 hryvnia, bringing its price to 45.90 hryvnias per liter. At the same time, other major players are holding previously established positions: at WOG gas stations, autogas is offered at 48.90 hryvnias per liter, at OKKO stations at 47.90 hryvnias per liter, while the state or semi-state Ukrnafta network continues to maintain the most democratic price for gas at 43.40 hryvnias per liter.

Stability of the Base Segment and Market Factors

Despite price increases for certain items, the Ukrnafta and UPG networks (with the exception of autogas) have kept base prices for standard brands of gasoline and diesel fuel unchanged. In particular, standard А-95 gasoline at these stations continues to be sold at 88.90 hryvnias per liter, forming a significant gap with the premium market segment. Experts attribute the current multi-directional dynamics to pressure on import supplies, changes in global oil quotes, and fluctuations in domestic demand.

Contradictory Data

An analysis of operational data from various monitoring platforms shows certain discrepancies in estimates of the pace of fuel price increases. While some experts and operational reports record a local nature of price hikes exclusively in the premium segment and for autogas, other analytical sources point to hidden pressure on the entire fuel market, which could lead to a broader revision of diesel and gasoline price tags upward in the second half of October.
