Drop In Gasoline Prices On The Way

According to the Aresep, the proposed changes will see gasoline prices drop to ¢593 for a litre of super, from the current price of ¢627, or ¢34 colones less; regular will drop to ¢566 from the current ¢599, or ¢33 less; and, diesel will drop to ¢495 from the current ¢535 or ¢40 colones less.

The cost of natural gas, aviation fuel and kerosene will also drop.

The new prices are official once the Aresep approves them, which is expected before the end of this week and then will go into effect within five days, allowing time to be published in the official government newsletter, La Gaceta.
