on Saturday that it will raise domestic gasoline and diesel prices for next week, marking the second consecutive week the company has hiked its fuel prices, dealers said.
Concerns over a global supply glut eased after a fall in crude oil inventories in the U.S. market, prompting Formosa Petrochemical to increase gasoline prices by NT$0.4 (US$0.013) per liter and diesel prices by NT$0.5 per liter, effective at 1 a.m. on Monday.
The latest price hike came after Formosa Petrochemical raised fuel prices by NT$0.3 per liter this week.
Following the increase, prices at its gas stations islandwide will rise to NT$20.5 per liter for super diesel, NT$23.2 per liter for 92 octane unleaded, NT$24.6 per liter for 95 unleaded and NT$26.7 per liter for 98 unleaded, Formosa Petrochemical said. [FULL STORY]
