Gasoline prices to drop by P2.00 per liter, diesel to increase by P0.40

Gasoline prices will decrease by P2.00 per liter and kerosene by P0.50 per liter starting Tuesday, October 3.

Diesel prices, however, will increase by P0.40 per liter.

This marks the second consecutive week of price reductions for gasoline and kerosene.

The price adjustments follow oil companies' rollbacks last week, which ended a three-month streak of price hikes.

Filipino households and food businesses will see a hike in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices, with an 11-kg tank increasing by P41.25.

The Department of Energy (DOE) attributed the mixed price movements to extended production cuts by major oil producers, elevated interest rates, a stronger US dollar, and the relaxation of Russia's fuel import ban.

As of September 30, the year-to-date net increase for gasoline is P17.30 per liter, for diesel P13.40 per liter, and for kerosene P9.44 per liter.
