Average diesel price exceeded UAH 100: fuel price overview at Ukrainian gas stations
On October 16, fuel prices continued to rise at Ukrainian gas stations. The average diesel price for the first time this week exceeded UAH 100 per liter, and autogas approached UAH 50. For the five working days, these two fuels demonstrated the greatest price increases.
This is evidenced by the daily monitoring data of the Consulting Group “A-95” as of October 16.
The average price of diesel fuel in Ukraine rose by 84 kopiykas per day – to UAH 100.43/l. This is the largest daily increase in diesel since the beginning of the week. The day before it rose by 52 kopiykas, and on October 14 – by 33 kopiykas.
Autogas added 83 kopiykas per day to an average of UAH 49.11/l. Although its rate of increase slowed slightly compared to Thursday, when the price rose by more than a hryvnia, the overall trend remains upward.
In contrast, gasoline rose significantly less. The average price of A-95 increased by 3 kopiykas to UAH 89.72/l, premium A-95+ by 4 kopiykas to UAH 93.59/l. A-92 gasoline remained at UAH 86.20/l.
Average fuel prices in Ukraine as of October 16
| Fuel type | October 16, UAH/l | October 15, UAH/l | Change, UAH/l |
|---|---|---|---|
| А-92 | 86.20 | 86.20 | 0.00 |
| А-95 | 89.72 | 89.69 | +0.03 |
| А-95+ | 93.59 | 93.55 | +0.04 |
| Diesel | 100.43 | 99.59 | +0.84 |
| Autogas | 49.11 | 48.28 | +0.83 |
Thus, diesel increased the most over the day. Its average price has already exceeded UAH 100 per liter, while autogas is gradually approaching UAH 50. Gasoline is so far showing much more moderate dynamics.

Weekly summary: autogas rose the most
Over the five working days from October 12 to 16, average prices for all main fuels in Ukraine rose, but the pace of increase differed significantly.
Autogas rose the most during this period – by UAH 2.87 per liter, or approximately 6.2%. If on Monday its average price was UAH 46.24/l, by Friday it reached UAH 49.11/l.
Diesel fuel added UAH 1.75 over the same period – from UAH 98.68 to UAH 100.43/l. Thus, the increase was approximately 1.8%.
Gasoline rose much more slowly. A-95 added 36 kopiykas over the week, A-92 – 19 kopiykas, and premium A-95+ – 18 kopiykas per liter.
The increase in diesel and autogas was especially noticeable in the second half of the week. On Thursday the average autogas price jumped by more than a hryvnia, and on Friday the largest daily increase was recorded by diesel.
Compared to the beginning of the week, filling a 50-liter tank with diesel at the average price became more expensive by UAH 87.50. For autogas, the equivalent increase for 50 liters is UAH 143.50.
Thus, the main trend of the week was the accelerated rise in diesel and autogas against a background of relatively stable gasoline prices. At the same time, the gap between the most expensive and cheapest chains remains significant.
