Gasoline Prices Going Up, Up And Up
The low reserve levels are the primary reason for the next round of gasoline price hikes, according to the latest request made by the Refinadora Costarricense de Petróleo (Recope) to the regulating authority.

Yesterday, the price hike on super gasoline took effect, setting the price per litre at ¢568 colones, up from ¢533.

The increase of ¢40 colones per litre in the price of regular went into effect this morning,  which sets the final price at the pumps at ¢549 colones.

Both the increase in super and regular gasoline was approved last week.

If approved the price for a litre of diesel will jump from the current ¢375 colones to ¢390 colones. Kerosene and Jet A-1 fuel will increase ¢22 colones and ¢20 colones respectively.
