Gasoline
Dropping ¢5
Colones By Mid
Month
Gasoline prices
will be dropping
in the coming
weeks with the
approval on
Friday of a
decrease of ¢5
colones a litre
by the Autoridad
Reguladora de
los Servicios
Públicos (Aresep).
Carolina Mora,
spokesperson for
the Aresep,
explained that
the fluctuations
of crude oil on
international
markets
influenced the
price drop.
However, before
the prices can
drop at the
pumps, the
approval has to
first go to the
Imprenta
Nacional
(national
printer) that
publishes the
official
government
newsletter, La
Gaceta.
The approval is
expected to be
sent to the
printer on
Monday and be
published not
later than June
14, explained
Mora.
Gasoline
stations around
the country are
then required to
change the
prices the
following day.
All gasoline
products in
Costa Rica are
supplied to the
local retailers
by the state
refinery, the
Refinadora
Costarricense de
Petroleo (Recope)
and the prices
set by the
Aresep.
The price of
gasoline is the
same at all
gasoline
stations across
the country.
