Over a year that difference becomes a sum worth calculating in advance. McLaut runs three filling stations in Cherkasy, sells fuel below the regional average, and adds a loyalty card on top that cuts the price further.<\/p>\n<h2>What a year of fill-ups actually costs<\/h2>\n<p>Per the regional price index (A-95 Consulting Group, early September 2026), the average price across Cherkasy-region networks is 82.52 UAH\/L for A-95, 93.10 UAH\/L for diesel and 43.12 UAH\/L for LPG \u2014 a market-wide average, not the price of any single brand.<\/p>\n<p>McLaut&#8217;s own price board at all three stations shows A-95 at 76.49 UAH\/L, diesel at 88.49 UAH\/L and LPG at 40.99 UAH\/L. For an ordinary passenger car using about 200 litres of A-95 a month, the gap between the market average and McLaut works out to roughly 14,500 UAH a year \u2014 before the loyalty card is even counted.<\/p>\n<h2>Annual savings calculator<\/h2>\n<p>Pick a fuel grade, enter your rough monthly consumption and the number of vehicles, and the calculator works out your annual saving straight away.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"mc-fuelcalc\" id=\"mc-fuelcalc\">\n        <script>window.MC_FUEL_CALC = {\"mclaut\":{\"a95\":76.49,\"dp\":88.49,\"lpg\":40.99},\"markets\":{\"avg\":{\"a95\":82.52,\"dp\":93.1,\"lpg\":43.12},\"premium\":{\"a95\":88.9,\"dp\":96.23,\"lpg\":44.77},\"mid\":{\"a95\":83.9,\"dp\":92.33,\"lpg\":42.35},\"budget\":{\"a95\":79.9,\"dp\":89.95,\"lpg\":42.2}},\"tiers\":[{\"upTo\":60,\"discount\":2},{\"upTo\":150,\"discount\":2.5},{\"upTo\":null,\"discount\":3}],\"marketRowLabels\":{\"avg\":\"At the average market price, per year\",\"premium\":\"At the average premium-network price, per year\",\"mid\":\"At the average mid-market network price, per year\",\"budget\":\"At the average budget-network price, per year\"},\"labels\":{\"uah\":\"UAH\",\"perYear\":\"per year\",\"ofWhichCard\":\"of which from the loyalty card \u2014\"}};<\/script>\n        <form class=\"mc-fuelcalc__form\" onsubmit=\"return false\">\n            <fieldset class=\"mc-fieldset\">\n                <legend>Fuel grade<\/legend>\n                <div class=\"mc-seg\">\n                    <label><input type=\"radio\" name=\"grade\" value=\"a95\" checked><span>A-95<\/span><\/label>\n                    <label><input type=\"radio\" name=\"grade\" value=\"dp\"><span>Diesel<\/span><\/label>\n                    <label><input type=\"radio\" name=\"grade\" value=\"lpg\"><span>LPG<\/span><\/label>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/fieldset>\n            <fieldset class=\"mc-fieldset\">\n                <legend>Where do you usually fill up?<\/legend>\n                <label class=\"mc-check\" style=\"grid-template-columns: 20px 1fr;\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"category\" value=\"avg\" checked><span>Not sure \u2014 compare against the market average<\/span><\/label>\n                <label class=\"mc-check\" style=\"grid-template-columns: 20px 1fr;\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"category\" value=\"premium\"><span>A large network with the highest prices in the city<\/span><\/label>\n                <label class=\"mc-check\" style=\"grid-template-columns: 20px 1fr;\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"category\" value=\"mid\"><span>A network with mid-range prices<\/span><\/label>\n                <label class=\"mc-check\" style=\"grid-template-columns: 20px 1fr;\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"category\" value=\"budget\"><span>A budget station with the lowest prices among the chains<\/span><\/label>\n            <\/fieldset>\n            <div class=\"mc-inline-fields\">\n                <label class=\"mc-field\"><span>Litres per month<\/span><input type=\"number\" name=\"liters\" min=\"0\" max=\"5000\" step=\"10\" value=\"200\" inputmode=\"numeric\"><\/label>\n                <label class=\"mc-field\"><span>Number of vehicles<\/span><input type=\"number\" name=\"vehicles\" min=\"1\" max=\"500\" step=\"1\" value=\"1\" inputmode=\"numeric\"><\/label>\n            <\/div>\n            <label class=\"mc-check\" style=\"grid-template-columns: 20px 1fr;\">\n                <input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"card\" checked>\n                <span>Include the McLaut \u0410\u0417\u041a loyalty card<\/span>\n            <\/label>\n        <\/form>\n        <div class=\"mc-fuelcalc__result\">\n            <div class=\"mc-fuelcalc__row mc-fuelcalc__row--muted\">\n                <span id=\"mc-fc-market-label\">At the average market price, per year<\/span>\n                <span class=\"mono\" id=\"mc-fc-market\">0<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"mc-fuelcalc__row\">\n                <span>At McLaut, per year<\/span>\n                <span class=\"mono\" id=\"mc-fc-mclaut\">0<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"mc-fuelcalc__headline\">\n                <span class=\"mc-fuelcalc__headline-label\">Your annual saving<\/span>\n                <span class=\"mc-fuelcalc__headline-value mono\" id=\"mc-fc-saving\">0 UAH<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <p class=\"mc-fuelcalc__note\">of which from the loyalty card \u2014 <strong class=\"mono\" id=\"mc-fc-card\">0 UAH<\/strong><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <p class=\"table-note\">This is an estimate: the market prices are category averages from an internal survey of the Cherkasy market (September 2026), not a single named competitor; the loyalty card is calculated at McLaut \u0410\u0417\u041a&#039;s published tiers (the first 60 L a year at 2.00 UAH\/L, the next 90 L at 2.50 UAH\/L, above 150 L at 3.00 UAH\/L, per vehicle).
