DOE Eyes Mixed Oil Price Adjustments Starting Next Week
FUEL PRICE UPDATE – Mixed oil price adjustments are expected on last week of September as gasoline prices seen to drop while diesel and kerosene prices will go up.
Filipino motorists may once again face mixed fuel price changes on September 30, 2025 (Tuesday), with some relief for gasoline users but continued pressure on those who rely on diesel and kerosene.
Industry sources and government data suggest that gasoline could see a rollback of around P0.50 – P0.80 per liter. This adjustment would finally break a six-week streak of price increases.
On the other hand, diesel may climb by as much as P0.50 per liter, while kerosene could rise by about P0.40.
If confirmed, these would mark the sixth straight week of price hikes for both products.
The expected rollback in gasoline is largely tied to the availability of additional supply in Asia. China’s recent move to release more export quotas, along with swelling stockpiles in the region, has lowered gasoline costs.
Diesel, however, tells a different story. Global markets are reacting to ongoing tensions affecting energy supply. Russia’s partial ban on exports, drone strikes on fuel facilities, and renewed Western efforts to curb Russian oil trade have all tightened supply.
Added to this are seasonal demands such as the harvest in the United States and the recovery of industrial activity in Europe, both of which continue to push diesel prices upward.
The weakening of the Philippine peso against the dollar has also made imports more costly, trimming the possible rollback for gasoline while amplifying the expected increase in diesel.
Fuel companies are set to announce final adjustments on Monday, with new prices taking effect the following day.
