Gasoline Price Hike Approved


Get ready for higher gasoline prices coming our way next week, following yesterday's approval for a price hike by the Autoridad Reguladora de los Servicios Públicos (Aresep).

A litre of super and regular gasoline prices will increase ¢52 colones and ¢45 colones, respectively, while the price of diesel fuel will drop ¢20 colones a litre.

With the increa that is expected by mid next week, the price of a litre of super gasoline jumps to ¢487 from the current ¢435, regular to ¢474 from ¢429 and diesel drops to ¢415 from the current ¢435.

The Aresep said the current changes in the price of crude oil on international markets warrants the increase requested by the state refinery, Refinadora Costarricense de Petróleo (RECOPE).

The new prices take effect one day following the publication of the change in the official government publication, La Gaceta, which is expected to on Thursday 19 March.
