LIST: Fuel discounts for motorists

The Department of Energy (DOE) has released a list of fuel discounts offered by oil companies to motorists amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Below are the retailers offering promotions, including fuel discounts, as of March 7, 2025:

“As global developments continue to influence oil markets, the government is closely coordinating with oil companies to ensure that relief measures, such as fuel discounts, remain accessible to motorists,” DOE Secretary Sharon Garin said in a statement.

“These initiatives are an important way of helping cushion the impact of international price movements on our transport sector and the riding public,” she added.

The development comes as the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping corridor between Iran and Oman, has been closed amid the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran.

The strait is considered the world’s most vital oil export route, linking major Gulf oil producers to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.

Earlier, the DOE’s Oil Industry Management Bureau (OIMB) projected a minimum increase of P9.00 per liter for gasoline, P19.00 per liter for diesel, and P31.00 per liter for kerosene this week due to continuing concerns over the Middle East conflict.

The DOE also said it will appeal to oil firms to stagger the implementation of price hikes starting this week.

For reference, the agency earlier said pump prices from March 6 to March 9 should not exceed the following ranges:

• Gasoline (RON 97/100): P53.70 to P76.50 per liter
• Gasoline (RON 95): P50.00 to P71.04 per liter
• Gasoline (RON 91): P49.00 to P64.70 per liter
• Diesel: P49.00 to P66.59 per liter
• Diesel Plus: P56.80 to P74.81 per liter
• Kerosene: P78.90 to P99.89 per liter
