At the beginning of 2025, Ukrainian drivers can expect a double increase in the price of gasoline. Already this week, the price of fuel will rise by 1 hryvnia per liter, and by the end of the month - by the same amount.
What caused the price increase?
The rise in gasoline prices is due to several key factors:
- Logistical disruptions. Due to the storm on the Black Sea, the supply of fuel is delayed, which has already affected the price formation.
- The increase in world oil prices. Despite hopes for stabilization, oil prices do not show a downward trend.
Last week, large gas station chains, such as OKKO and WOG, raised the prices of gasoline and diesel by 1 hryvnia per liter. This week, other networks will support this trend.
Analysts predict that another price increase is possible within the month - in the third decade of January. After that, the price of gasoline may increase by an average of 2 hryvnias per liter.
Current prices for gasoline in Ukraine
As of January 8, the average price of A-95 gasoline is UAH 55.93/l, according to the A-95 Consulting Group .
The cheapest fuel is offered:
- Cargo 7 – UAH 51.95/l;
- The factor is UAH 52.50/l.
The highest prices are recorded at the following gas stations:
- SOCAR, OKKO, WOG – UAH 58.99/l;
- Parallel - UAH 57.99/l;
- Shell - UAH 57.82/l.
Despite the significant increase in prices, experts urge to remain calm: fluctuating fuel prices are a common phenomenon for the winter season. However, it should be expected that the increase in the cost of gasoline will have a cascading effect on the prices of goods and services dependent on logistics.
