PRICES of gasoline, diesel and kerosene will again go up this week to reflect the movement of prices in the international market, oil companies announced today. Gasoline will increase by P0.50 per liter (L), diesel by P0.30/L, and kerosene by P0.80/L. The rate rise follows last week’s hike, which came after two straight weeks of decline. Most companies will be raising the cost of petroleum products at 6 a.m. tomorrow, March 6. Last March 1, companies that also sell liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) slashed the price of the product by P1.65 per kilogram (kg) or a reduction of P18.15 for an 11-kg cylinder. Auto-LPG prices were also reduced by P0.90/L. — Victor V. Saulon
