Gasoline Stations to Impose Mixed Oil Price Changes This Week
Various fuel companies in the country are expected to implement mixed oil price changes starting Tuesday (January 6, 2026).
Motorists will see a mix of fuel price adjustments, as gasoline prices ease slightly while diesel and kerosene become more expensive. The changes come after a week of steady gasoline rates and follow an increase on diesel and kerosene prices.
Effective at 6 a.m., Shell Pilipinas and Seaoil will roll back gasoline prices by P0.10 per liter, while raising diesel by P0.20 per liter and kerosene by P0.10 per liter. Petro Gazz will implement the same gasoline and diesel adjustments but does not carry kerosene.
Other oil companies are expected to announce their updates later this week.
The Department of Energy explained that these changes are due to global market trends, including fluctuations in crude oil prices, currency exchange rates, and seasonal demand for diesel and kerosene in colder countries.
Gasoline prices, on the other hand, slightly rolled back due to a sufficient global supply.
Last week, most fuel companies kept gasoline prices unchanged but increased diesel and kerosene by P0.60 per liter.
This week’s smaller adjustments show geopolitical risks, expectations of a global oversupply, and weaker demand forecasts.
While recent international developments, such as production cuts from Venezuela’s state-run oil company PDVSA following the capture of President Nicolas Maduro, are being monitored, the DOE does not expect a major impact on local prices.
The mixed price adjustment means drivers should plan their fuel purchases carefully, balancing trips and consumption for the week. Authorities assured the public that they continue to monitor the market to maintain fair and transparent pricing, helping motorists and consumers stay informed.
