Gas station owners get their way – Fuel prices will increase as the result of an “error”

June 27^th, 2013 (InsideCostaRica.com) Regulators announced on Wednesday that fuel prices would be increasing ¢9 per liter (¢34, or about $0.07 per gallon)  as a result of an “error in calculation,” which involves an “erroneous” ¢4 reduction last Friday which had angered gas station owners, as well as a ¢5 increase which will last for a period of 22 months.

As a result, the price of super gasoline will increase to ¢ 747 per liter (about $5.66 per gallon), while regular gasoline will increase to ¢ 707 per liter (about $5.35 per gallon), and diesel will increase ¢ 624 per liter (about $4.72 per gallon).

Dollar prices based on ¢ 500 to $1 exchange rate.
