The fuel tanker ship from Venezuelan fuel supplier PDVSA (Pe-De-Ve-Sa) was scheduled to arrive today – and at midnight the price of regular fuel shot
up.
Regular which had been lagging behind diesel went up by a dollar and fifteen cents from 7 dollars and 74 cents a gallon to eight dollars and eighty
nine cents. That's a 15% increase – and creates another unusual situation where premium fuel at $8.80 per gallon is now nine cents cheaper than regular
per gallon.
The change in price is a reflection of the cost of acquisition.
Diesel and premium prices did not increase with this shipment.
