Autogas rose in price in four largest filling station chains
Among the eight largest operators, the greatest increase in the price of autogas was recorded in WOG, AMIC and SOCAR. In these chains prices increased by UAH 1 per liter.
At WOG autogas now costs UAH 59.90/l, at SOCAR - UAH 59.50/l, and in the AMIC chain its average price rose to UAH 58.01/l.
In the "BRSM-Nafta" chain autogas rose on average by 80 kopecks - to UAH 55.30/l. At the same time, this operator slightly reduced the price of A-95 gasoline - by 5 kopecks per liter. Diesel here added about 1 kopeck.
OKKO, UKRNAFTA, UPG and KLO kept autogas prices unchanged. At OKKO a liter costs UAH 59.90, at UKRNAFTA - UAH 55.90, at UPG - UAH 56.90, and at KLO - UAH 57.90.
Thus, the most expensive autogas among the eight largest operators is now sold by OKKO and WOG - UAH 59.90/l each. The lowest average price remains in "BRSM-Nafta" - UAH 55.30/l. The difference is UAH 4.60 per liter.

Diesel fuel also finished the week more expensive than at its beginning. From October 26 to 30, the average price rose from UAH 103.72 to UAH 104.26/l, i.e. by 54 kopecks. At the same time, by the end of the week the pace of its rise sharply slowed down, and on October 30 a slight decrease was recorded.
The gasoline market remained significantly more stable. From October 26 to 30, the average price of A-95 rose by only 2 kopecks, A-95+ - by 5 kopecks, and A-92 - by 3 kopecks per liter.
Thus, the main result of the last working week of October was the steady price increase for autogas. Unlike gasoline and diesel, its rise did not stop on any working day.
