On Wednesday afternoon the official newspaper La Gaceta published the reduction in the price of fuel. The decrease responds to the request of the Public Services Regulatory Authority (Aresep) after a study carried out in the month of June.
The decrase applies from this Thursday, July 4th. Thus, the price of super gasoline will decrease from ¢684 to ¢659 per liter, the regular will go from ¢665 to ¢638, and diesel will go down from ¢571 to ¢527.
Liquefied petroleum gas will also have a ¢731 reduction for the 25-pound cylinder (for domestic use). Now it will cost ¢6590.
This is explained mainly by a decrease in international prices, and the reduction in the exchange rate that fell during the price review period: it went from ¢596.99 /$ (in the previous setting) to ¢590,15.
The next price revision is scheduled for Friday, July 12th.
