As reported by NBN, citing the Facebook profile of the founder of the Prime logistics group of companies and fuel market expert Dmitry Leushkin, the cost of motor fuel at domestic gas stations may rise significantly in the coming days due to the expected increase in excise taxes, rising oil prices and fluctuations in the exchange rate.
Based on Leushkin's words, diesel fuel will soon go up in price by 3 hryvnias per liter, gasoline by 2.5 hryvnias per liter, and liquefied gas by 2 hryvnias per liter, despite the fact that Ukraine's domestic market is filled with various fuels.
According to the expert, such a trend will be provoked by worsening weather conditions, since not all tankers managed to unload fuel before the January increase in excise tax, and companies that planned to avoid the new tax will be forced to pay more, shifting their costs “onto the shoulders” of consumers.
Leushkin summarized:
…The numbers are like this since January 10th, it makes sense to keep the tank full, since this will be an economically justified measure. Well, let's look at the steles, we won't expect any promotions anymore. Maybe just a candy for a full tank)).
