Dominican gasoline prices will rise more than two pesos per gallon

  • The Ministry of Industry ordered the rise of almost all fuels. The price of natural gas is maintained, and fuel oil # 6 falls

 

The ministerial office justified the increase by the rise of the reference crude in the United States.

The Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Mipymes (MICM) reported that fuels would suffer a slight increase in the week of December 12-18.

Regular gasoline will be sold at 199.00 and premium gasoline at 211.50, increasing 2.60 per gallon each. In contrast, regular diesel will rise by 2.80 to 161.80 and Optimo to 173.80, rising by 2.90 pesos per gallon. Finally, liquefied gas will be dispensed at 118.80, increasing 0.90 cents per gallon. Natural gas maintains its price of 28.97 per cubic meter.

The ministerial office justified the increase by the rise of the reference crude in the United States, which had reached its highest nine months last week. However, it fell back in the previous two days with investors awaiting the new measures against the coronavirus decreed in some states.

“The average price of crude oil in the last five days had a slight increase of US$0.60 per gallon, equivalent to 1.32 % in relation to last week,” says a statement.
