On August 13, 2026, the Ukrainian fuel market recorded another price correction. The largest private network of gas stations, WOG, announced an increase in the cost of diesel fuel, while prices for gasoline and autogas at most stations remain unchanged. This change occurred against the backdrop of general inflationary pressure and seasonal fluctuations in demand.
Rise in diesel fuel prices in the WOG network
According to price monitoring data for Thursday, August 13, the WOG network adjusted the cost of diesel fuel upwards. Now, the cost of standard Euro-5 diesel fuel at this network's stations is 94.80 UAH per liter. The proprietary premium fuel grade Mustang has risen to 97.80 UAH/l. This decision by the network was a reaction to changes in market conditions and, likely, an increase in the cost of logistics and raw materials.
Stability in the rest of the market
Unlike diesel, prices for all grades of gasoline — from budget A-92 to premium grades with an octane rating of 100 — remained at the level of the previous day, August 12. A similar situation is observed with prices for liquefied gas (autogas). WOG's competitors — networks OKKO, SOCAR, and the state-owned "Ukrnafta" — have not changed the cost of diesel fuel at this time, keeping prices at the previous level. This creates a certain price asymmetry in the market, where consumers can choose between cheaper diesel from competitors and the familiar WOG brand.
Leader in affordability: "Ukrnafta"
The state-owned "Ukrnafta" network continues to hold the lowest prices among the operators considered. On August 13, A-95 gasoline in this network costs 79.90 UAH/l, which is significantly lower than the average market indicators. Diesel fuel in "Ukrnafta" is offered at a price of 89.90 UAH/l, making it the most affordable option for motorists and logistics companies under current conditions. The cost of autogas in the network is 42.90 UAH/l.
Contradictory data
In the context of analyzing price trends, certain discrepancies arise in the interpretation of events. On the one hand, current data confirms a price increase specifically in the WOG network. On the other hand, analytical materials (in particular, data from minfin.com.ua) indicate that the OKKO and WOG networks raised diesel prices for the first time since June. This may indicate that the current increase is part of a longer wave of increases that began earlier, or that the WOG network merely caught up with competitors who may have raised prices in a hidden mode earlier. The exact chronology requires clarification from network representatives, as official press releases may precede or lag behind actual changes at the cash registers.
