The Ministry of Industry and Commerce says that the new unleaded gasoline that will be available next year will sell for the same price per gallon as consumers pay for the leaded gasoline it replaces. The Ministry says that the gasoline that will be available as of 1 January 1999 and will be 95 octane premium gasoline and regular nonleaded gasoline with an 89 octane. The new gasoline will contribute to reduce levels of environmental contamination. It is part of an international agreement signed by the Dominican government in 1994 at the Summit of the Americas in Miami, Florida.
