Gasoline Price Goes Up, Soon to
Come Down Again
Gasoline prices are becoming
like a rollercoaster, as the
Refinadora Costarricense de
Petróleo (Recope) informs that
it will be making a request to
lower gasoline prices, a day
ahead of an increase. The
reason? the price of crude oil
on international markets has
been dropping.
This morning Costa Ricans woke
up to new gasoline prices, a
hike of ¢31 colones for a litre
of super, ¢30 for regular and
¢16 for diesel.
This is the second increase in
gasoline prices by Recope this
year, not counting the 3%
automatic increase on the tax on
gasoline products.
Recope did not specify the
reduction amount it will ask the
Autoridad Reguladora de
Servicios Públicos (ARESEP).
