Gasoline Prices On They
Way Up Again
Even though the latest
round of gasoline price
increases has yet to hit
the pumps, the national
refinery, RECOPE, has
applied for an increase.
RECOPE asked the
Autoridad Reguladora de
los Servicios Públicos (Aresep)
for an increase of ¢18
colones for a litre of
super, ¢14 colones for
regular and ¢28 colones
for diesel.
The price increase, when
approved, will take
effect in May after the
approval is published in
the official government
publication, La Gaceta.
This coming week, last
months price increase is
expected to be published
and to take effect no
later than next
Saturday.
RECOPE says the push up
for prices is to to the
increase of crude oil on
international markets
which reached us$112 a
barrel on Wednesday.
The current price for a
litre of super is ¢565
colones, regular ¢553
and diesel ¢511.
