Diesel and Super Gas Prices To Drop Thursday
Diesel and
Super Gas Prices To Drop Thursday
If you can hold off, do so, as gasoline
prices drop on Thursday, ¢29 colones for
diesel and ¢3 for super.
The new prices on Thursday will be ¢386 for
a litre of diesel, down from the current
¢415; and, ¢484 for super. Regular gasoline
prices will not change.
The drop is the latest approved by the
Autoridad Reguladora de los Servicios
Públicos (Aresep) before the Semana Santa
holidays and will be published in the
official government publication, La Gaceta,
on Wednesday, taking effect at 12:01am
Thursday at all gasoline pumps across the
country.
However, that is not the only good news. On
March 20, the Aresep suggested an adjustment
reduction of ¢59 colones for a litre of
diesel, ¢35 for super and ¢38 for regular,
that will take effect, hopefully, next
month.
That drop is being argued by the state
refinery, the Refinadora Costarricense de
Petroleo (Recope), that it will deplete cash
reserves kept by the refinery to make its
purchases.
However, the Aresep says that the reserves
are actually profits, which should be handed
over to the consumers.
