Tighten The Purse Strings,
¢40
Gas
Price Hike Approved
The Autoridad Reguladora de los
Servicios Públicos (Aresep)
yesterday approved a hike in
gasoline price by ¢40 colones for a
litre of super, ¢37 for regular or
Plus91 and ¢46 for diesel.
The price hike will go into effect
next week, the day following the
printing of the notice in the
official government publication, La
Gaceta.
The publication is expected to next
Friday (June 12), which means prices
will be changed at the pumps at
12:01am Saturday (June 13).
The increase is based on the rising
prices of crude oil on international
markets.
The Aresep said that this could be
the first of more gas price hikes as
international markets prices
continuing spiraling upwards.
