The Public Services Regulatory Authority (ARESEP) found a total of 22 gas stations across the country that were expending less fuel than what consumers paid for.

The new gas prices will be 27 percent cheaper than those in force in October last year, according to ARESEP.

A drop in international oil prices in recent weeks could favor a reduction in gas prices here.

The Public Services Regulatory Authority (ARESEP) approved a ₡15 hike in regular per-kilometer taxi fares and a ₡2 to ₡3 increase in per-liter fuel prices.

If approved by ARESEP, fuel prices would drop in September while new bus fares would apply starting October.

A ₡4.74 decrease in per liter prices of Diesel, Super and Plus gasoline is intended to return to the public $2 million spent improperly by RECOPE.

Higher fuel prices approved last Friday haven't even gone into effect yet, but that hasn't stopped the National Oil Refinery (RECOPE) from seeking a new hike of ₡9 in the per-liter prices of gasoline and diesel.

The price of a liter of Super gasoline is expected to increase by 5 percent later this week.

The Public Services Regulatory Authority approved an increase in fuel prices that will rise per-liter prices of fuel in up to ₡42.

Recent good news for drivers lasted less than a month as per-liter prices of “Super” and “Plus” gasoline on Saturday increased by ₡5. Diesel increased ₡3.
