Gasoline Price Up Tomorrow; Taxi Fares Up
Today
The price of gasoline goes up tomorrow
following the approval by the Autoridad
Reguladora de los Servicios Públicos (Aresep)
last month. The notice was published today
in the official government publication, La
Gaceta, and takes effect at 12:01am
Thursday.
The price of a litre of super will go up ¢34
colones, regular and diesel ¢33 colones.
Av-Gas, jet fuel, kerosene and natural
compressed gas also go up.
The price of a litre of super gasoline at
the pumps tomorrow will be ¢601, up from
today's ¢567; regular to ¢582 from ¢549; and
diesel to ¢506 from ¢472.
The good news is that the increase will be
temporary as the Aresep is evaluating a
proposal that would reduce gasoline prices
by ¢26 colones for a litre of super, ¢24 for
regular and ¢22 for diesel. However, the
lower prices would not take effect until the
middle of October.
In the same notice taxi fares increase
today. the Aresep approved taxi fares will
increase by ¢25 colones for the first
kilometre and ¢30 for each additional
kilometre. With the increase the minimum
rate is today ¢455 colones.
