Higher Gasoline Prices
Today
If you didn't fill your gas tank last night
or have been out of the news in the last
couple of days, you are in for a surprise
this morning, as gasoline prices went up at
the stroke of midnight.
The price of a litre of super gasoline
jumped a whopping ¢39 colones, ¢26 for
regular and ¢40 for diesel.
Natural compressed gas, kerosene and jet
fuel also increase on Wednesday.
The Autoridad Reguladora de Servicios
Público (Aresep) approved the latest
increase, citing the price of crude oil on
international markets and the drop in the
colon exchange rate against the US dollar.
This will be the first increase of 2010.
Good news, however, Recope - the state
refinery - said priced are expected to come
down next month.
