Autogas remains the leader of price growth at Ukrainian gas stations - price monitoring
On October 13, fuel prices continued to rise at Ukrainian gas stations. Automobile gas again increased in price the most, although the pace of its price growth slowed somewhat. Meanwhile, some large gas station networks reduced the cost of gasoline and diesel.
This is evidenced by the daily monitoring data of the Consulting Group "A-95".
The average price of autogas in Ukraine increased by 46 kopiykas per day - to UAH 46.70 per liter. The day before, it went up by 75 kopiykas, so the growth continues, but at a slower pace.
Gasoline A-95 added an average of 12 kopiykas and costs UAH 89.48/l, premium A-95+ rose by 9 kopiykas - to UAH 93.50/l. The average cost of diesel fuel increased by 6 kopiykas - to UAH 98.74/l.
Average fuel prices in Ukraine as of October 13
| Type of fuel | October 13, UAH/l | October 12, UAH/l | Change, UAH/l |
|---|---|---|---|
| A-92 | 86.06 | 86.01 | +0.05 |
| A-95 | 89.48 | 89.36 | +0.12 |
| A-95+ | 93.50 | 93.41 | +0.09 |
| DP | 98.74 | 98.68 | +0.06 |
| Autogas | 46.70 | 46.24 | +0.46 |
Thus, average prices increased for all five main types of fuel. However, autogas remains the undisputed leader of price growth: its daily increase in monetary terms was almost four times higher than the growth of gasoline A-95 prices.
Situation in the largest gas station networks
Among the eight major operators, the most noticeable changes occurred in the OKKO, UPG, AMIC, SOCAR, and KLO networks.
OKKO increased the price of autogas immediately by UAH 1 - to UAH 48.90/l. After that, its price equaled the price at WOG, where no changes occurred during the day.
In the UPG network, autogas also rose by UAH 1 - to UAH 46.90/l. An even more significant increase occurred at KLO: by UAH 1.30, to UAH 48.40/l.
The AMIC network increased the cost of gasoline A-95 and A-95+ by UAH 1 per liter, while diesel rose by an average of 11 kopiykas. The price of autogas remained unchanged.
Contrary to the general market growth, SOCAR reduced prices for all main types of fuel. Gasoline A-95, premium A-95+, and diesel fell by UAH 1 per liter, autogas - by an average of 14 kopiykas.
Despite the reduction, SOCAR remains the most expensive among these eight operators for gasoline A-95 and diesel fuel. A-95 in the network costs UAH 94.90/l, diesel - UAH 103/l.
The cheapest gasoline A-95 among these operators is sold by "BRSM-Nafta" - UAH 86.60/l. The difference with SOCAR is UAH 8.30 per liter, or UAH 415 on a 50-liter tank.
For diesel fuel, the lowest average price also belongs to "BRSM-Nafta" - UAH 96.69/l. Autogas in this network costs UAH 44.86/l, while in OKKO and WOG - UAH 48.90/l.
Where fuel prices rose the most
Among other gas station operators, even more noticeable changes in fuel costs were recorded.
In the "SVOI" network, autogas went up by UAH 2 per liter - to UAH 45.90. In Parallel, its cost increased by an average of UAH 1.78 - to UAH 48.66/l.
The SUNOIL network raised the average price of diesel by about UAH 1.01 - to UAH 99.40/l, and autogas - by 95 kopiykas, to UAH 46.45/l.
In the "Market" network, gasoline A-95 rose immediately by UAH 2 - to UAH 87.59/l, diesel - by UAH 1, to UAH 99.59/l.
Meanwhile, some operators reduced prices. In particular, at VostokGaz, gasoline A-95 fell by UAH 2 - to UAH 86.99/l, and diesel and autogas - by UAH 1 per liter.
In the "DNIPRONAFTA" network, the average cost of A-95 decreased by UAH 1.67 - to UAH 85.32/l, diesel fuel - by UAH 1.33, to UAH 97.32/l.
Thus, the fuel market on October 13 shows mixed dynamics in individual networks, despite the overall growth of average prices in the country. The most persistent trend remains the growth of autogas prices, which has been continuing for several trading days in a row.
Recall that on October 12, the average price of autogas in Ukraine increased by 75 kopiykas, and gasoline A-95 and diesel fuel - by 19 and 20 kopiykas, respectively. New data show that the growth of gasoline and diesel prices slowed down, but autogas continues to rise more noticeably.
