The spread of nearly 9 hryvnia per litre between the cheapest and most expensive A-95 petrol highlights the competitive nature of Ukraine’s retail fuel market and the importance of network choice for cost conscious drivers and businesses. The government is also working on measures to support safer operation of filling stations in front line regions, where the risks of physical damage and supply disruption are highest.
The day before, on Thursday 9 July, average A-95 petrol had risen by 3 kopiyok to 74.60 hryvnia per litre, while diesel had increased by 2 kopiyok to 75.94 hryvnia per litre.
