RECOPE Asks For ˘2 Colon
Drop In The Price of
Gasoline
The last decrease of
gasoline prices - ˘1
colon per litre - that
in effect earlier this
week was such a joke
that it barely was
noticed by anyone.
And adding insult to
injury, yesterday RECOPE
asked a drop of ˘3
colones on the price of
a litre of super and ˘2
colones for regular.
Although the price of a
litre of diesel will
drop ˘65 colones.
Earlier in the week
RECOPE has hinted that
it would be asking the
regulatory body, ARESEP,
approval for a decrease
of ˘30 colones on the
price of gasoline as the
state institution keeps
in policy of price
adjustment requests made
every second Friday of
the month.
RECOPE blamed hurricane
IKE in Texas for the low
drop in prices.
Interesting to note is
that RECOPE is now
responding to an
immediate change as the
price of crude on
international markets
rose this week in the
face of the hurricanes,
while it has failed to
adjust its prices
according for the last
two months as the price
of crude as dropped more
than us$40 barrel.
Costa Rica continues
with the highest fuel
prices in Central
America.
