Oh, boy. Fuel prices are expected to increase by another substantial margin this week. And after last week’s price hike, we’re holding out for a much-needed rollback before February.

For the period of January 20 to 26, 2026, the price of diesel will go up by a big P2.0 per liter, while gasoline prices will increase by P1.0 per liter. Finally, kerosene will also have a price increase of P1.50 per liter.

Once these adjustments take effect, gasoline and diesel prices will have gone up by P1.20/L and P2.40/L, respectively, since the beginning of 2026. Meanwhile, kerosene will have had an overall increase of P1.90/L for the year.

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.
