Shell and Caltex Raise Petrol Prices in Singapore After Russian Fuel Sanctions Ease
What happened
Shell raised prices across its petrol grades by 3 cents per litre on October 12, keeping diesel prices unchanged. Caltex later mirrored this price increase. These hikes followed the Trump administration's announcement that it would temporarily ease restrictions on Russian fuel supplies for six months. Shell and Caltex are now tied for the highest posted price of 95-octane petrol in Singapore.
