RECOPE, the national refinery asked for an increase in gas prices again last week, that should take place within 2 weeks. ARESEP has fifteen days to study the application and 5 days to publish the decree.

If approved, which is 99% probable, super will cost ¢ 479, regular ¢ 445 and diesel ¢ 318 per liter. In dollars per gallon, that would be:

479 colones per liter / 485 colones per US Dollar = $ 0.987 per liter

$ 0.987 per liter x 3.785 liters in one US gallone = $ 3.73 per gallon for super

Diesel would cost $ 2.48

This price at the pump includes approximately 33% in taxes for gasoline.
