Fuel Prices Increase in
Panama
The combustibles most
used by the Panamanian
population - gasoline,
diesel and propane went
up in price again
Friday, as per the
government's Hydrocarbon
General Office that
periodically revises
prices, but "does not
mandate" them for
distributors.
The previous
readjustment was made
before Carnival on
February 1, when
gasoline price was
reduced us$0.19 cents
allowing more than
40,000 cars to make
trips from the capital
to the interior of the
country.
However today Shell Oil
communicated a problem
with the arrival of a
tanker, and instead of
lowering, there is now a
sudden artificial
shortage and prices went
up more than expected. |
