Amid the worsening situation in the Middle East, the cost of gasoline at Ukrainian gas stations has increased sharply.
This was reported by social media users.
On average, prices at popular gas stations increased by 2 hryvnias per liter, however, in some places the price increased by 3 hryvnias.
Currently, A-95+ gasoline costs about 72.99 hryvnias; in the morning, after the price increase, its cost was one hryvnia lower.
The cost of A-95 gasoline varies from 68.99 to 69.99 hryvnias per liter — this is at least 2 hryvnias more expensive than it was before.
Diesel fuel is sold for almost 70 hryvnias, and premium diesel fuel is two hryvnias more expensive.
As experts explain , the price increase is necessary to prevent possible panic demand.
If demand remains subdued, retail prices may soon return to pre-crisis levels.
By the way, on Monday, March 2, world oil prices rose sharply amid the escalating conflict around Iran and risks to supplies through the Strait of Hormuz.
As is known, Iran has blocked the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf , which is a key route for oil supplies from the Middle East.
