Gasoline Price Drop At
The Stroke of Midnight
Holding off until
midnight to fill the
tank can save you money
as the price of gasoline
drops at the stroke of
midnight.
A litre of super
gasoline will drop ¢12
colones to ¢562; regular
¢8 colones to ¢551;
while diesel will
increase ¢8 colones to
¢521.
However, the lower
prices on gasoline won't
last too long as the
state refinery,
Refinadora Costarricense
de Petroleo SA (Recope)
asked the regulating
body, the Autoridad
Reguladora de los
Servicios Públicos (Aresep),
for a new increase last
January 11.
When that increase is
approved and goes into
effect, super gasoline
will jump ¢10 colones,
regular ¢9 and diesel
¢3.
The request has yet to
be analyzed by the
Aresep and published in
the official government
publication La Gaceta
before the increase can
take effect.
Gasoline prices hit a
record high last August
when the price of a
litre of super reached
¢620 colones. |
