Among the mentioned networks, the most expensive autogas is now offered by WOG – 47.90 UAH/L. The lowest average price remains at "BRSM-Nafta" – 43.20 UAH/L. The difference between them is 4.70 UAH per liter.

Gasoline and diesel in most major networks did not rise during the day. The only notable exception among the eight operators was "BRSM-Nafta", where gasoline A-95 decreased by about 5 kopiykas, to 85.63 UAH/L.

The most expensive A-95 among the top 8 is sold by SOCAR – on average 94.90 UAH/L. The lowest price is recorded at "BRSM-Nafta". Diesel is also the most expensive at SOCAR – 103 UAH/L, while at "BRSM-Nafta" it costs 96.40 UAH/L.

Outside the eight largest networks, significantly sharper price changes were recorded.

The Neftek network raised prices for four types of fuel by 2 UAH/L. Gasoline A-92 increased to 86 UAH/L, A-95 – to 92 UAH/L, A-95+ – to 95 UAH/L, and diesel – to 101 UAH/L. Autogas in this network increased by 1 UAH, to 46.90 UAH/L.

In the Ovis network, autogas rose by 2 UAH – to 45.99 UAH/L. Meanwhile, gasoline and diesel prices remained unchanged.

A noticeable increase was also recorded in the "DNIPRONAFTA" network: the average price of diesel increased by approximately 1.67 UAH, to 98.66 UAH/L, autogas – by 1.67 UAH, to 44.99 UAH/L, and gasoline A-95 – by 1 UAH, to 85.99 UAH/L.

At Parallel, autogas rose by about 73 kopiykas, to 45.57 UAH/L. The "Avtotrans", Brent Oil and VostokGaz networks increased its price by 50 kopiykas per liter.

Thus, the rise in autogas prices continues for the second day in a row and covers both large and regional gas station networks. Instead, prices for gasoline and diesel at most operators remain relatively stable, and significant increases so far are local in nature.
