Refueling diesel fuel in Ukraine in 2025, as always, requires a careful approach to the choice of gas stations, since the quality of fuel directly affects the operation of the engine, its resource and repair costs.
Despite martial law, large chains continue to import fuel from Europe and monitor its characteristics. The NarsCars company, which has car rental in Ivano-Frankivsk, also guarantees diesel quality.
Where is the best diesel: general trends and changes in the market in Ukraine in 2025
The main part of diesel fuel sold in Ukraine is imported from EU countries (Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Hungary, etc.), which guarantees compliance with Euro-5 standards (or even Euro-6 according to some indicators).
Large gas station networks continue to carry out their own fuel quality control at all stages - from procurement to sale. It is important to remember about seasonality - summer DP is used at an air temperature above 0°C, and winter DP can withstand low temperatures (up to -20°C, -30°C, and some Arctic varieties up to -40°C and below) thanks to special additives that prevent paraffinization.
Fuel prices in Ukraine remain sensitive to global oil quotes, exchange rates and logistics costs, especially in wartime conditions. Therefore, you should specify the cost in advance, including in companies where there is car rental in Rivne and other cities.
Where is the best place to refuel diesel: gas station rating and proven fuel
According to the results of regular inspections conducted by the Institute of Consumer Examinations and other specialized organizations in 2024-2025, the leaders in the quality of diesel fuel are ("Green Zone"):
- OKKO. One of the largest and most popular networks. Imports diesel from Europe (Lithuania, Poland). Drivers note consistently high quality, reduced fuel consumption and better engine performance.
- WOG. Another market leader importing fuel from European refineries (Romania, Belarus, Lithuania). It is a premium fuel that improves engine performance.
- SOCAR. Azerbaijan network, known for the high quality of fuel of its own production. Often shows some of the best results in terms of sulphur content and flash point.
- AMIC. Austrian network, which also imports quality fuel from Lithuania and other countries. Diesel quality figures were among the best in terms of minimum sulphur content.
- KLO. Network, concentrated mainly in central Ukraine. Offers European quality diesel, showing a good balance of price and quality.
- UPG. The Ukrainian network usually shows good results.
- PARALLEL. Has high ambitions and is actively expanding its network. Fuel quality meets high standards, sulfur content is low.
- UKRNAFTA. A state-owned company that is rapidly strengthening its position and increasing the level of competition in the fuel sector.
At which gas station is the best diesel: "Blue zone"
SHELL is an international network whose fuel is manufactured in accordance with the Euro-5 standard. Although sometimes indicators can be "on the edge", in general quality is acceptable. ANP, BVS, MARKET, MARSHALL, VST - these networks, as a rule, meet the standards of DSTU, but do not always have a "strength reserve" according to key indicators (for example, the sulfur content may be closer to the upper limit).
At which gas stations is high-quality diesel: "Red Zone"
In 2025, thanks to increased control and import of quality fuel, the number of such cases decreased significantly. However, there may still be cases at small, little-known gas stations or at "gray" gas stations.
The best diesel in Ukraine: what new brands offer in 2025?
Leading networks are constantly working on improving additive packages in their premium diesel. They improve combustion, clean the fuel system, protect against corrosion, reduce foaming and improve low temperature properties.
Large chains continue to develop loyalty programs, offering discounts, bonuses and other benefits for regular customers. There is a growing focus on the environmental aspects of fuel. High-quality DP with a low sulfur content is not only better for the engine, but also for the environment. It is important to find out which gas stations have high-quality diesel fuel and refuel there.
