The domestic fuel rates are determined by global prices of crude oil and the rupee-dollar foreign exchange rates.
Oil prices fell on Friday, with US crude dropping more than 4 per cent, on fresh trade tensions and record high US crude production, but they still ended the month higher as OPEC watchers expect an extension next week to a pact to throttle oil output beyond March.
Brent crude futures settled down $1.44 at $62.43 a barrel, and was down 1.5 per cent for the week. Still, the contract posted its biggest monthly gain since April with a rise of about 6 per cent.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures settled down $2.94 at $55.17, falling of 4.1 per cent on the week, after three consecutive increases. On a monthly basis, WTI is poised for a jump of about 2.3 per cent, its highest since June.
The rupee settled 12 paise lower at 71.74 against the US dollar on Friday, tracking heavy selling in domestic equities and growth concerns ahead of the release of GDP data.
Forex traders said month-end dollar demand from importers and uncertainty over the US-China trade talks also weighed on the domestic currency.
