TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – State-run energy group CPC Corp. has decided to keep gasoline and diesel prices unchanged for a third week running, reports said Saturday.
From Monday morning until next Sunday (April 26), 92-, 95-, and 98-octane unleaded gasoline will still cost NT$32.4, NT$33.9, and NT$35.9 per liter, respectively. The price of premium diesel will also remain unchanged at NT$31 per liter, the Liberty Times reported.
The energy company said it will have absorbed NT$11.47 billion (US$364.39 million) in oil price rises from the start of the Iran War on Feb. 28 until Sunday. The move forms part of a government policy to limit the impact of energy price rises on civilians and businesses.
The latest decision to keep fuel prices unchanged was based on trends in international oil prices, the energy company said. With efforts continuing to find a lasting ceasefire in the Iran War, prices have declined — even though they are still at a high level.
