Gas Price Hike Approved
The Autoridad Reguladora de los
Servicios Públicos (ARESEP) last
night approved a hike in
gasoline prices in the amount of
¢12 colones per litre for both
regular and super gasolines and
aviation fuel.
The approval must first be
published in the official
government publication, La
Gaceta, which five working days.
The publication is expected not
later than the middle of next
week.
The price hike will mean that
the price of a litre of super
gasoline will jump from the
current ¢504 to ¢516 and regular
from ¢474 to ¢486.
The price hike was at the
request of the Refinadora
Costarricense de Petróleo (Recope),
Costa Rica's state monopoly on
petroleum products. Recope
refines and distributes to
retailers gasoline products in
the country.
