The rise of oil price in the international markets, which has registered an increase over the last weeks, led the Azorean Government to raise the maximum public sales price of petrol, of road diesel as well as of agricultural and fishing diesel.
Hence, the prices of petrol, road and agricultural diesel will raise two cents and fishing diesel will rise one cent.
The 95 and 98 petrol will now be sold in the Azores at a maximum of 1.13 and 1.19 Euros per litre and road diesel at 94 cents per litre. Agricultural diesel will be sold at a maximum price of 54 cents per litre and fishing diesel at 41 cents per litre.
The prices for the industrial fuel and for the gas for domestic consumption will remain unaltered.
The new amounts, which stipulate the maximum public sales prices, will come in force on Wednesday at 12 AM.
