Ammon News - Diesel prices will be lowered in September, while gasoline, kerosene, and household gas cylinder prices will remain unchanged, the Petroleum Derivatives Pricing Committee announced on Sunday.

The decision came after the committee reviewed global crude oil and petroleum product prices in August, compared with July.

Accordingly, the price of 90-octane gasoline will be sold at 850 fils per liter, and 95-octane gasoline remains at 1,075 fils per liter.

Diesel will be reduced to 675 fils per liter, down from 690 fils, while kerosene will remain fixed at 620 fils per liter. The price of a 12.5-kg household gas cylinder will also remain unchanged at JD 7.
