The President of the Dominican Petroleum Refinery (REFIDOMSA), Francisco Javier García, told El Siglo yesterday that REFIDOMSA has met all requirements, changes, specifications and adjustments required of them by the Directorate General of Norms and Quality Systems (DIGENOR) for the changeover to unleaded gasoline on January 1. Beginning in January leaded gas will no longer be sold in the DR. Instead, stations will offer two types of unleaded (currently only one type if offered): unleaded regular, with 89 octane, and unleaded premium, with 95 octane. REFIDOMSA says both will be sold to consumers at RD$22 per gallon.
