Gasoline More Expensive Today
If you didn't fill you gas tank
last night, today super and
regular gasoline will cost you
more, following the publication
of last weeks price increase
approval in the official
government publication, La
Gaceta.
The price of a litre of super
and regular gasoline jumped ˘34
colones with the resetting of
the pumps at the stroke of
midnight. Diesel prices were not
affected in this latest round of
increases.
Today a litre of super gasoline
costs ˘517 colones, up from ˘483
and regular costs ˘493, up from
˘459. A litre of diesel stays
the same at ˘362.
Aviation fuel prices also jumped
last night.
The increase is based on a
request by the state monopoly
known as Refinadora
Costarricense de Petróleo (RECOPE)
as it adjusts its prices due to
fluctuations of the price of
crude oil on world markets.
The price increase means an
extra ˘1.530 colones (us$2.94)
to fill a 45 litre tank.
