Whew, that’s hefty—we’re in for another round of fuel price hikes this week, and this time, gasoline users will take the brunt of the damage.

From August 5 to 11, 2025, gasoline prices will shoot up by P1.90 per liter, which is one of the biggest jumps we’ve seen in a while. Diesel prices, too, will go up by another P1.20 per liter, making this the fourth consecutive week of price increases. Finally, kerosene will have a price hike of 1 per liter.

If you want to save up on fuel costs, remember that fuel prices may vary depending on location and the brand of the fuel station; it might be cheaper somewhere along your regular route than near your place of residence or work.
