韩国周日汽油和柴油价格适度上涨，政府考虑采用价格上限制度，以应对中东冲突升级导致能源价格上涨的担忧。据韩国石油公社数据，全国平均汽油价格达到每升1,893.3韩元（1.27美元），较前日上涨3.9韩元，柴油上涨4.8韩元至每升1,915.4韩元。
中东冲突升级，包括美以对伊朗的打击和德黑兰的反击行动，推动全球原油价格上涨，这些价格立即反映在韩国国内燃料价格上。为应对能源成本上涨的担忧，政府已开始审查采用价格上限制度的可能性。 韩国石油公社数据显示，2026年3月8日，全国平均汽油价格为每升1,893.3韩元（1.27美元），较前日上涨3.9韩元。柴油平均价格为每升1,915.4韩元，上涨4.8韩元。首尔汽油价格达到每升1,944.7韩元（上涨3韩元），柴油达到1,968.2韩元（上涨4.9韩元）。这些小幅涨幅与最近每日上涨数十韩元形成对比，表明政府的考虑可能正在缓和上涨势头。 韩国高度依赖能源进口，对此类外部冲击仍很脆弱，这些冲击经常导致通胀。消息人士表示，对价格上限制度的审查——可能时隔30年首次——源于全球价格飙升迅速传导至本地加油站，尽管尚未公布最终决定。
