Diesel, kerosene, gas prices up
Enemalta and Liquigas have announced higher prices for diesel, kerosene and gas, owing to higher prices on the international market.
In separate statements, Enemalta and Liquigas announced the increases.
Enemalta said that diesel has increased 3c, from €1.31 to €1.34, while unleaded petrol remained unchanged at €1.38 per litre.
Kerosene went up by 4c – from €1.30 to €1.34, and gasoil for heating 2c, from 93c to 95c.
Meanwhile, Liquigas announced that a 10kg cylinder of gas will now be sold at €13.50 while a 12kg cylinder will now sell at €16.00.
Liquigas said that the prices were at their highest on the international market for the last five years, and the expected reduction in the cost of gas that normally happened after the winter season did not occur this year since the suppliers of LPG on the international market retained prices high in line with petroleum trends.
