MANILA -- Diesel prices will go up while gasoline and kerosene prices will go down in the first week of October, oil companies said Monday. 

The following petroleum price adjustments will take effect Tuesday:

CALTEX (from 12:01 a.m.)

The Department of Energy (DOE) earlier said there were no major changes in circumstances but diesel demand picked up due to the coming winter season as it is used as heating fuel.

An independent player said one of the reasons why diesel prices were up was the decision of Russia to restrict fuel imports. 

The prices of LPG went up on October 1.
