Davao Occidental posts highest average fuel prices in Davao Region for Oct. 20-26
Department of Energy monitoring shows diesel in Davao Occidental averaged P101.80 per liter, while Davao City prices sat closer to the regional middle.
Davao Occidental had the region's highest average pump prices for premium gasoline, regular gasoline and diesel during the October 20 to 26 monitoring week, according to SunStar, citing figures from the Department of Energy-Mindanao Field Office (DOE-MFO).
In the province, premium gasoline averaged P93.95 per liter, regular gasoline P93.20 and diesel P101.80. These were several pesos above the other four provinces in the Davao Region, where premium gasoline averaged between P83.28 and P85.28 per liter.
In Davao City, the DOE-MFO recorded average prices of P84.82 per liter for premium gasoline, P83.73 for regular gasoline, P93.62 for diesel, P98.67 for Diesel Plus and P114.87 for kerosene.
Among the six cities monitored, Panabo City had the cheapest average premium gasoline at P81.29 per liter. It also had the lowest regular gasoline and diesel averages among the cities, at P80.73 and P92.01. The Island Garden City of Samal averaged P82.44 for premium gasoline but P94.92 for diesel, the highest diesel figure among the monitored cities.
At the provincial level, Davao Oriental had the lowest average premium gasoline price at P83.39 per liter. Davao del Norte had the lowest regular gasoline and diesel averages, at P82.64 and P93.37. Kerosene ranged from P114.17 per liter in Davao del Norte to P123 in Davao de Oro and Davao Oriental. Averages for Diesel Plus and kerosene were not listed for some provinces.
The monitoring week began after oil companies took effect on October 20 with a P4.30-per-liter rollback for gasoline, a P2.60-per-liter increase for diesel and Diesel Plus, and a P1-per-liter cut for kerosene.
The DOE-MFO said its figures reflect prevailing pump prices during the period, and actual prices may differ by station depending on location and retailer. A full breakdown is available on the agency's weekly fuel-price dashboard.
Why it matters for Davao
Davao City motorists paid roughly mid-range prices compared with the rest of the region, and nearby Panabo City offered lower average gasoline and diesel prices during the period. Prices still vary by station, so the DOE dashboard can help drivers compare.
