⛽ Fuel Price ($/L) in Georgia

Fuel Price in Georgia

The Fuel Price indicator measures the average price per litre of gasoline (RON 95) in US dollars. In Georgia the average stands at 0.95 USD per litre — placing the country in the lower-middle range globally. Fuel is neither particularly cheap nor expensive here.

Current Price Structure

Fuel prices in Georgia (as of 2025/2026) fall within the following ranges:

• Premium gasoline (95): 2.95–3.15 GEL/litre (~1.10–1.17 USD)
• Regular gasoline (92): 2.75–2.95 GEL/litre (~1.02–1.10 USD)
• Diesel: 3.00–3.20 GEL/litre (~1.12–1.19 USD)
• LPG (autogas): 1.50–1.70 GEL/litre (~0.56–0.63 USD) — widely available; a large share of private vehicles are converted to run on LPG

The reference value of 0.95 USD/L reflects a weighted average across fuel types. In practice, most Georgian drivers pay less because LPG conversions are extremely common.

Why Fuel Is Not Cheaper

Georgia has no domestic oil production of note and imports virtually all of its fuel — primarily from Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Russia. Transport costs across the Caucasus, combined with the Georgian Lari's (GEL) exchange-rate volatility against the US dollar, keep pump prices at a moderate level. Unlike the Persian Gulf states or Venezuela, Georgia does not subsidise fuel; the market is fully liberalised and regulated by the Georgian National Energy and Water Supply Regulatory Commission (GNERC).

For context: heavily subsidised oil-producing nations charge 0.02–0.40 USD/litre, while heavily taxed Western European countries sit at 1.50–2.20 USD/litre. Georgia falls between these extremes, closer to Eastern European neighbours such as Romania or Bulgaria.

LPG — The Everyday Alternative

A significant portion of Georgia's private vehicle fleet has been converted to LPG (autogas). The conversion, carried out by specialised workshops in Tbilisi, Rustavi and Kutaisi, costs 400–700 GEL (~150–260 USD) and pays for itself within a few months of regular driving. LPG filling stations — operated by Wissol, Socar, Gulf and independent operators — are available throughout Tbilisi and along all major highways. Drivers using LPG can cut their effective fuel costs by 40–50% compared to gasoline.

Station Network and Availability

Georgia's filling-station network is well developed. The major chains — Wissol, Gulf, Socar and Lukoil — operate stations along all main roads and in every city. Even in remote areas such as Svaneti and Tusheti, valley towns have at least one or two stations, although selection and opening hours may be limited. Card payments are accepted at most larger stations; smaller rural outlets may be cash-only.

What This Means for Expatriates

For someone relocating from a high-tax fuel market — the UK (1.40–1.60 GBP/litre), Canada (1.60–1.90 CAD/litre) or Australia (1.80–2.20 AUD/litre) — Georgia's fuel prices represent a noticeable saving, especially with an LPG conversion. Compared to the US (0.80–1.10 USD/litre) or heavily subsidised markets, however, Georgia is not a bargain. Frequent drivers (commuters, road-trippers) will benefit most from the price differential versus Western markets.

Bottom line: Georgia's fuel prices reflect moderate costs in an unsubsidised, import-dependent market. In practice, driving is cheaper than the headline per-litre figure suggests, thanks to the country's widespread LPG infrastructure — a tangible everyday advantage for expats coming from Western Europe.
