The figures reflect prevailing pump prices monitored by the DOE-MFO and are presented as ranges and averages, meaning actual prices may differ among individual retail stations within each province.
The weekly monitoring provides consumers, transport operators, businesses and other fuel users with a reference for prevailing petroleum prices in the region amid continuing fluctuations in fuel markets.
The DOE-MFO continues to publish weekly pump price data covering premium gasoline, regular gasoline, diesel, diesel plus and kerosene across Mindanao, allowing consumers to track price movements and differences between areas.
DOE said that the latest monitoring shows that fuel prices remain uneven across provinces, particularly for gasoline and diesel, with Davao del Sur generally recording some of the lowest averages while Davao Occidental posted the highest averages for several key fuel products. DEF
