Fuel prices to increase for 9th straight week

Fuel prices are set to increase for the ninth consecutive week starting Tuesday, March 1, 2022, with gasoline prices rising by P0.90 per liter and diesel by P0.80 per liter.

Several oil companies, including Caltex, Cleanfuel, Jetti, Petro Gazz, Seaoil, and Shell, have announced these price adjustments.

Kerosene prices will also increase by P0.75 per liter.

This marks the ninth consecutive weekly increase in fuel prices, with year-to-date increments for gasoline now at P8.75 per liter, P10.85 per liter for diesel, and P9.55 per liter for kerosene.

Tensions between Russia and Ukraine continue to affect global oil supply and prices, although this is somewhat tempered by the potential return of Iranian barrels to the market.

The Department of Energy noted that the International Energy Agency has raised its 2022 demand outlook, while supply from OPEC+ remains tight with shrinking spare capacity.
