More bad news for those hoping for a reduction in fuel prices this week. It simply won’t be so because tomorrow, February 6, yet another hike is poised to happen with gasoline prices set to go up by PHP 0.75USD 0.01INR 1EUR 0.01CNY 0.09 per liter and diesel by PHP 1.50USD 0.03INR 2EUR 0.02CNY 0.19. This marks the 5th consecutive week of price increases for fuel products and at the rate things are going, it doesn’t seem like it will stop any time soon.

The new year hasn’t been as kind as we wanted it to be as far as fuel prices go. Since the start of 2024 – and in the entire month of January – prices of fuel products continued to go up with no halt in sight. That much is evident as tomorrow, the price hikes continue, adding PHPÂ per liter for gasoline and PHPÂ for diesel.
The stroke of midnight will see Caltex as the first to update pump prices, with a good number of players including Seaoil, Petro Gazz, Petron, Shell, and Unioil increasing prices a little later at 6:00 in the morning. Those who may want to enjoy last week’s (relatively) lower prices for both diesel and gasoline may want to gas up at Cleanfuel stations. As its common practice, it adjusts prices latest at 4:01 PM.
