Fuel Prices in Vietnam as of Today
Hey there! Today, the Ministry of Industry and Trade announced some changes in retail fuel prices, effective from 3 pm on Monday. Here's the lowdown:
- E5 RON92 petrol now goes for 19,154 VND per litre, that's a decrease of 84 VND compared to the previous adjustment. RON95-III petrol follows suit, now at 19,586 VND per litre, down by 52 VND.

Mind you, this isn't the first time fuel prices have been adjusted in 2025. In fact, there have been a whopping 18 adjustments since the year began. RON95-III petrol, in particular, has seen a rollercoaster ride, with nine price hikes and nine cuts. Diesel oil has had a similar experience, increasing, decreasing, and staying put once. In this latest adjustment, the authorities chose not to tap into the petrol and oil price stabilisation fund for any fuel category.
