MOTORISTS will get relief this month as retail and wholesale prices for petrol and diesel will go down largely due to fall of prices in the global market and transport costs.
Retail prices for fuel reflect global
oil price changes as well and include costs for the government agencies,
service levies for municipals and cities to the retailers and
wholesalers.
The falling prices of petrol and diesel
will send a significant impact in stabilising transport and other
business costs. Cap prices for petroleum products published by the
Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA) show that retail
prices for petrol and diesel declined by 3.8 per cent equivalent to
88/- and 2.75 per cent or 61/- respectively.
However, kerosene prices increased by
0.09 per cent or 2/- per litre in the month under review. Wholesale
prices for petrol, diesel and kerosene decreased by 4.5 per cent
(100.91), 3.5 per cent (973.7) and 0.51 per cent (10.4).
There was no new fuel consignment
received through the Tanga port during April but the changes in price
setting rules made the retail and wholesale prices of petrol and diesel
to increase by 3/- and 15/- respectively.
Motorists in Dar es Salaam will have to
pay 2,227/- per litre of petrol down from 2,315/- of the previous month,
2,145/- per litre of diesel compared to 2,205/- and 2,156/- compared to
2,154/- per litre for kerosene consumers.
However, motorists in Lugufu, Uvinza
District in Kigoma Region will pay higher prices for petrol 2,471/-,
diesel 2,388/- and kerosene 2,400.
