Fuel prices to increase anew by Tuesday

Motorists are bracing for another fuel price increase as April concludes, with potential hikes for gasoline, diesel, and kerosene.

The Department of Energy attributes the expected price adjustments to supply uncertainty stemming from new US sanctions against Iran's oil shipping network.

Specifically, gasoline prices may rise by P1.20 to P1.50 per liter, diesel by P0.70 to P0.90 per liter, and kerosene by P0.50 to P0.70 per liter.

These sanctions, imposed on April 25, target Iranian liquefied petroleum gas magnate Seyed Asadoollah Emamjomeh and his network responsible for distributing Iran's fuel.

A decline in US oil inventory also contributed to the upward pressure on fuel prices.

These adjustments, which will take effect on Tuesday, April 29, continue a trend of price hikes following Holy Week rollbacks.
