How fuel prices are set in Georgia

Most countries in ETCurrency's coverage — Georgia included — import refined petrol and diesel or the crude they are made from, and pay for it in US dollars. The retail price you see at the pump is therefore three things stacked together: the international product price, the exchange rate used to bring it into Georgian Lari, and domestic taxes, levies, distribution margins and (often) subsidies.

Because the dollar cost is converted at the official exchange rate rather than the parallel one, fuel in countries with a large parallel premium looks cheap in dollar terms when you convert at the street rate. That is why the same litre can be quoted at two very different USD equivalents above.

Petrol vs diesel vs kerosene

In Georgia, diesel is currently more expensive than petrol (4.9 vs 4.16 GEL per litre). Diesel is the fuel of transport, agriculture and generators, so governments frequently cap or subsidise it more heavily than petrol; petrol is taxed as a consumer good. Kerosene, where sold, is a household cooking and lighting fuel and is often the most heavily subsidised of all.

Only petrol and diesel are published for Georgia; kerosene and aviation fuel are not shown rather than estimated.

How to read this price

Fuel prices in Georgia change less often than exchange rates: regulated markets revise them monthly or quarterly, liberalised ones weekly. The date on this page is the date the price was published, so a figure that is a few weeks old is normal and is usually still the price at the pump.

Pump prices vary by region and station, and informal-market fuel is priced separately from official stations. Treat the figure here as the reference retail price for Georgia, and use the exchange-rate pages to understand what it means in dollars.

Frequently asked questions

What is the petrol price in Georgia today?

How much is a litre of petrol in Georgia in US dollars?

About $1.604 per litre at the official exchange rate of 2.59 GEL/USD. At the parallel-market rate the dollar equivalent is lower because the same GEL price buys fewer dollars.

Why is fuel in Georgia cheap or expensive compared with other countries?
