The Ministry of Industry and Commerce set new prices for gasoline. Premium gasoline will sell for RD$40.38, up from RD$39.65. Regular gasoline will sell for RD$35.53 up from RD$33.80. Diesel will sell for RD$23.88, up from RD$23.34. Premium diesel will sell for RD$25.95 up from RD$25.41. When the Hydrocarbons Law was passed, consumers were misled to believe that fuel prices would decline in direct proportion to declines in world market fuel prices. Apparently, the formula for the price adjustments is not that simple.
