Gasoline Price Drop Approved

The price of gasoline products at the pumps will be dropping in the coming weeks with the latest and fifth reduction approval this year by the Autoridad Reguladora de Servicios Públicos (Aresep).

The price of gasoline will drop ¢26 colones per litre of super, ¢24 for regular and ¢22 for diesel, as soon as it is published in the official government publication, La Gaceta, which is expected next week.

With the approval, the cost of a litre of super will drop from today's ¢601 to ¢575, regular from ¢582 to ¢558 and diesel from ¢ 506 to ¢484.

Aviation gas and kerosene products will also be dropping, although compressed natural gas will be going up ¢13 colones a litre. Natural gas is used in most homes for cooking, as well as a number of vehicles converted from gasoline to LP. The Cost of LP will go from the current ¢262 to ¢275 a litre.

It is important to remember that only weeks ago the price of gasoline shot up and this drop will mean gasoline prices will still be higher that before last month's increase.
