Overall, the average price of autogas in the country decreased by 3 kopecks per liter and amounted to 16.14 UAH/l. This is the first drop in prices since the beginning of this month. As noted by Artem Kuyun, an expert at the Consulting Group A-95, the speculative surge in prices is beginning to subside, and the market is gradually coming into balance. According to him, the factor of hype is no longer exerting pressure, and fuel prices are returning to levels that can be called economically justified.

Thus, at AMIC gas stations, the price of a liter of gas decreased by 6 kopecks, at Shell — by 3 kopecks. The Avtotrans and Nadiya chains cut prices by as much as 50 kopecks, and the capital's KLO on August 31 sells fuel at 16.19 UAH/l, which is 5 kopecks less than a day earlier.
