Another Round of Gas
Hikes Approved
The Autoridad Reguladora
de Servicios Públicos (Aresep)
yesterday approved the
latest request by the
state refinery to
increase gasoline
prices.
The price of a litre of
super gasoline will jump
by ¢10 colones, regular
¢9 and diesel ¢3.
The new prices are
expected to go into
effect next week,
possibly Tuesday, the
day after it is
published in the
official government
publication, La Gaceta.
Super gasoline will go
from the current ¢562 to
¢572 colones per litre,
regular from ¢551 to
¢560 and diesel from
¢521 to ¢524.
The Refinadora
Costarricense de
Petroleo SA (Recope)
says that the increase
requested was due to the
constant rise in the
cost of crude oil on
world markets.
