Why fuel prices change in South Korea
Fuel prices in South Korea move with global Brent and WTI benchmarks, but local policy determines how quickly global changes pass through to pump rates.
South Korea tracks imported crude closely, with rates often moving alongside freight and refining margins. Because fuel is part of transport and logistics cost, retail inflation often follows large petrol or diesel moves.
Current model: Daily market-linked. Authority: Korea National Oil Corporation. This is why neighboring countries can post very different prices even on the same day.
