Pump prices climb by up to 12 cents as diesel crosses S$4.
Singapore motorists are facing higher fuel costs after more than two months of stable pump prices, with several major retailers raising petrol and diesel rates on September 14.
Fuel Prices Rise After Two-Month Pause
Singapore fuel prices increased on September 14, 2026, marking the first adjustment after more than two months of unchanged rates. Shell raised prices across its 95-octane, 98-octane, V-Power and diesel products by 8 cents per liter. Esso later matched the 8-cent increase across its fuel range, while Caltex implemented the largest adjustment, raising its listed fuel prices by 12 cents per liter.
Diesel Crosses S$4 at Major Retailers
Diesel prices moved above S$4 per liter at several major fuel retailers for the first time in three months. Caltex became the most expensive among those listed at S$4.07 per liter, while Shell and Esso priced diesel at S$4.03. SPC and Sinopec remained at S$3.89, while Motorist noted that all stated prices were before loyalty rewards and credit card discounts.
95-Octane Petrol Reaches S$3.49
The widely used 95-octane petrol was priced at S$3.49 per liter at Caltex following the increase, while Shell and Esso charged S$3.45. Sinopec remained at S$3.37 and SPC at S$3.36. For 98-octane petrol, Shell and Esso raised their prices to S$3.97 per liter, compared with S$3.88 at SPC and Sinopec.
Brent Crude Climbs Above US$106
The pump price increases came as Brent crude futures rose to US$106.93 per barrel on the morning of September 15, compared with around US$76 per barrel during Singapore’s previous fuel price adjustments in early July. AsiaOne linked the rise to concerns that escalating Middle East tensions could disrupt global oil supplies, including renewed attacks involving Houthi forces and uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.
SPC and Sinopec Hold Prices
At the time the reports were published, SPC and Sinopec had not raised their posted fuel prices. SPC remained the cheapest among the major listed retailers for 92-octane petrol at S$3.34 per liter, while Sinopec and SPC both priced 98-octane petrol at S$3.88. AsiaOne stated that its listed prices were correct as of 11 a.m. on September 15 and were shown before discounts.
The September 14 increases have pushed Singapore motorists back into a higher fuel-price environment, particularly for diesel and premium petrol. For Singaporeans, the changes directly affect current driving costs. For Indonesians traveling or driving in Singapore, the latest posted pump prices provide a useful reference when planning transportation expenses.
