Government: Gasoline prices to be frozen for a full year at least
The Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources announced an adjustment to the current prevailing prices of petroleum products in the local market, raising the selling prices of gasoline, diesel and vehicle natural gas, effective from 6:00 a.m. today, October 17.
The new gasoline prices, effective from today, Friday, October 17, 2025, are as follows:
95 Octane gasoline: EGP 21 per liter (previous price: EGP 19)
92 Octane gasoline: EGP 19.25 per liter (previous price: EGP 17.25)
80 Octane gasoline: EGP 17.75 per liter (previous price: EGP 15.75)
Diesel: EGP 17.5 per liter (previous price: EGP 15.5)
Vehicle natural gas: EGP 10 per cubic meter (previous price: EGP 7)
The Ministry of Petroleum explained that following this increase, and as a result of events on the local, regional and global scene, the government decided to freeze the selling prices of petroleum products in the local market, with no increase, for a minimum of one year.
The ministry stressed the continued efforts of the petroleum sector to operate refineries at their full maximum capacity, as well as to pay arrears owed to partners and approve incentives for partners, which significantly helps increase production and reduce the import bill in order to achieve relative stability in costs and narrow the gap between costs and selling prices.
This is according to the official Facebook page of the Egyptian Cabinet.
